Right. CMake does the job of the configure scripts and generate
makefiles (or project files for several IDEs) which are fully
configured, with paths, user options, available libraries, etc. Those
makefiles are hardly usable outside of the machine were they were
created, as it is the case with the makefiles generated by the
`configure' script.
