[CMake] CMake and user friendliness (Drew DeVault)

[Zaak Beekman]

Well, it depends on who you are expecting the "user" to be and what their
background is. I always configure new cmake buiulds with cmake-gui or
ccmake, which I find to be much easier than auto tools, because the
documentation and ability to set options is in the same place--one stop
shopping. No need to read about a number of options, then try to remember
which ones to set, and to what. Just read the doc string of each option one
at a time and then change its value from the default if desired.
