lol, ya i totally didnt see that below. Plus I dont think I would have 
understood what it was saying. I needed a dumbed down version like "heres how 
to compile for a specific GPU...". 

Do we expect users will just build on the machine with the GPU that they intend 
to use? So the simple `cmake ..` is all they need? Who are these instructions 
for? If they were for me, they would say heres how to build for a specific GPU 
:D
