Summary

0008815: add_custom_command needs documention to state scope of command

Description

According to this thread, the OUTPUTS of add_custom_command can only be referenced as a build rule in the directory they were declared in.
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-February/027323.html [^]

This prevents calling add_custom_command in a subdirectory, using the OUTPUTS in a target in the parent directory, and having the add_custom_command being run as a dependency for that target.

This is somewhat unintuitive and should be documented, since add_custom_command could be seen as behaving as a target does and have global scope.
