cmake creates scripts in wrong directory

[SaganBolliger]

I'm trying to install nupic.core on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS with cmake version 2.8.7. When I create the directory $NUPIC_CORE/build/scripts and run cmake $NUPIC_CORE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../release -DPY_EXTENSIONS_DIR=$NUPIC_CORE/bindings/py/nupic/bindings from within it, I get the following output:

In particular, note that the cmake files are created in /home/sbolliger/nupic.core rather than the current directory (/home/sbolliger/nupic.core/build/scripts) as expected. This is at odds with the documentation that then instructs the user to run make from within the same directory.

$NUPIC_CORE is set to /home/sbolliger/nupic.core.

@SaganBolliger -- quite a few changes have been made to the cmake scripts in nupic.core since this issue was filed. Would you mind trying this again against the latest nupic.core in master?

Cheers!
