Hi,

I hit the same thing a while ago when testing Qt5 and yes, you get the 
files under (in my case) E:\cmake\Qt5 (E:\cmake\Qt5\Qt5Config.cmake, 
E:\cmake\Qt5\Qt5ConfigVersion.cmake, etc)

I really think that this should be disabled by default and just enabled 
with some kind of -create-those-cmake-files-that-are-so-annoying option.

Cheers,
