Summary

0003604: make it possible to use cmake code in add_custom_command() and add_custom_target()

Description

Hi,

for several things it would be easier if it would be possible to execute cmake code at build time without having to write a second cmake file and execute this using add_custom_command/target and cmake -P.

This could look like:

add_custom_target(man
CODE "
foreach(file a.txt b.txt c.txt)
exec_program(makeman ${file} ${file}.man
endforeach(file)
")

Or
add_custom_command(OUTPUT blah.h
CODE "
FILE(WRITE blah.h "This file was generated")
")

I guess this could be implemented by generating cmake files from the given code and execute them using cmake -P at build time.
