Each on of them faulty.

This is a normal pretty standard cmake error. Just because many people do it 
doesn't make it right.

Build and Configuration Management is about predicatable and reproducable 
build behaviour. Magic is bad. Uncertainty is bad. Uncontrollable behaviour is 
bad.

This _normal cmake behaviour_ torpedos that. Another regression of cmake 
compared to autoconf.
