[aspect-devel] Switching Aspect to cmake

[Wolfgang Bangerth]

OK, I take this as a vote for cmake. Anyone opposed?

Matthias -- using the current aspect CMakeLists.txt, whenever I create a 
different directory and do something like
   cmake -DDEAL_II_DIR=... ../aspect
it ends up saying

-- Autopilot invoked
-- Run   $ make help   to print a detailed help message
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/bangerth/p/deal.II/2/projects/aspect

...which is my source directory, not the current build dir. The newly created 
build dir remains empty. What do I need to do to enable out-of-source builds?

Best
  W.
