or

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..

While I completely agree that it's better to buse a build directory, I
think it's a bug if cmake in the source dir fails, unless it is
documented not to work and it bails out early with a nice error message.

There also should be a checked-in clean script that removes all
cmake-generated files, sort of like "make maintainerclean".
