Do *not* distribute CMakeCache.txt. It simply will not work. CMake must be
run against CMakeLists.txt to produce CMakeCache.txt (and all the rest of
the initial binary tree) on each target build machine...

Suppose if I want distribute my project with the source code,
CMake files and all, how do I do this? I dont mind regenerating
build files using "cmake ." but I dont want to edit the CMakeLists.txt
and CMakeCache.txt when I distriubute my project. Is this doable?
