Turns out there was another CMakeLists.txt in the tree that was busted -- someone else checked in a bad copy.

In my opinion, the best way to learn CMake is to look at the combination of
the documentation (http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html) and a
working CMake-based build system.  CMake itself is built with CMake so that
is a good candidate. So is KDE.  Those are the two I used for ideas when I
helped to put together the PLplot CMake-based build system, and hopefully by
now that is a reasonably good candidate to look at as well.  For example,
examples/ada/CMakeLists.txt in the PLplot source tree (see
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/examples/ada/CMakeLists.txt)
successfully uses the ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES property.
