[CMake] Clearing all cmake files

[Mike Jackson]

I am going to assume then that you DID in fact use an out of source  
build for your project. Assuming that build directory is called  
"Build" the command is:

rm -rf Build/  (Linux/Unix/OS X)
Use Windows Explorer to delete the entire build tree on Windows.

Those are the commands.

Granted they are not the most obvious but they do work. If you have  
suggestions let's hear them..
