Hi,

I looked into this one a bit about a month ago. It seems like that this
issue is addressed in a newer versions of cmake. However, it is not
completely fixed. The problem still is that building cmake requires cmake in
some occasions.

The way cmake bootstrapping works is that cmake first makes a cmake command,
with which cmake builds the release version of cmake(.exe). This cmake is in
a bootstrap-directory of the source tree. The bug in cmake 2.8.12 makefile
does not use the bootstrapped cmake command for install and instead uses the
one in the path (which does not necessarily exist).

This is definitely a bug in cmake bootstrapping process, but i was not able
to formulate a clear bug report for cmake in the time frame I had at that
point.

Greetings,

 Juha L
