Hello,

I'm using the 2.4.6 version and I find cmake to be a great tool. Thanx to developers!

What I don't understand is why should such files as CMakeCache.txt and cmake_install.cmake
be not in CMakeFiles? And why is CMakeFiles not hidden?

Suppose I have two files in my project:

main.c
header.h

I create CMakeLists.txt and after "cmake ." call I suddenly have more extra files than my project itself.

I agree that CMake needs to produce a lot of files in the build tree in
order to do its job.  I don't care, however, because I always use an
out-of-source build tree (see discussion in
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ) so my source tree remains pristine.
