No you're right, the CMakeLists.txt is the only file I need to keep.  
In facts I store that under source control.

I think it would be useful to have a command to clobber the whole  
cmake hierarchy for when you need to prepare a distribution, change  
the compiler settings or clear some conflicts in the build tree. It  
does happen, especially during the project initial setup.
