[gdal-dev] Building GDAL in WIndows with CLion (CMake)

[Kai Pastor, DG0YT]

These instructions seem unaware of the fact that builds are configured 
by passing input variables to cmake. In particular it is not necessary 
to edit CMakeList.txt, and some of the environment variables have no 
effect at all.

I don't know how this is done in CLion. On the command line, you would 
use `-D` parameters, i.e.

cmake ... "-DSWIG_EXECUTABLE=D:\utils\swig\swig.exe" 
"-DPROJ_ROOT=c:\OSGEO4W" ...

These variables are cached in the build directory. So you can easily 
have different configurations in different build directories for the 
same source directory, without having to remember setting environment 
variables.
