I did not realize the example tar file was bad, and will fix it, thanks for pointing it out.

CMake generates a lot of files and caches, which kinda annoys me when I'm using it in conjunction with an IDE or source control - just a bit messy. I also dislike the macro syntax: it's confusing and poorly documented. I suppose i just find cmake somewhat inelegant. @earobinson,
