Waldir Pimenta b4dc9ec224 cmake: use -H -B trick for out-of-src build
As initially discussed in #1379. This removes the need to use `mkdir` and `cd`. Inspired by this post:

# cmake
> Cross-platform build system generator.
> It generates Makefiles, Visual Studio projects or others, depending on the target system.
- Generate a Makefile and use it to compile a project in the same folder as the source:
`cmake && make`
- Generate a Makefile and use it to compile a project in a separate "build" folder (out-of-source build):
`cmake -H. -B{{build}} && make -C {{build}}`
- Run cmake in interactive mode (it will ask for each variable, instead of using defaults):
`cmake -i`
