It is just a standard cmake gotcha:    configuration/generation fails, 
the cache isn't deleted, and whatever it was that caused the failure is 
preserved in the cache to fail on the next attempt.  You can reduce this 
effect by being careful what you cache, but in this case, well, we're 
still just hackin' on this thing....
