Summary:                    Specify output dir for QT4_WRAP_UI
Description: 
It would be nice to have an option to specify an output dir for QT4_WRAP_UI.
This way it would be easier to port QMake -> CMake application.

Eg. QMake input:

[...]
UI_DIR = UI/AutoGen
FORMS += UI/UI/BrowseData.ui
[...]

Here is a suggestion for enhancement:

Change current macro into:

macro (QT4_WRAP_UI outfiles )
  QT4_EXTRACT_OPTIONS(ui_files ui_options ${ARGN})

  foreach (it ${ui_files})
    get_filename_component(outfile ${it} NAME_WE)
    get_filename_component(infile ${it} ABSOLUTE)
    set(outfile ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${QT4_WRAP_UI_DIR}/ui_${outfile}.h)
    add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${outfile}
      COMMAND ${QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE}
      ARGS ${ui_options} -o ${outfile} ${infile}
      MAIN_DEPENDENCY ${infile} VERBATIM)
    set(${outfiles} ${${outfiles}} ${outfile})
  endforeach ()

endmacro ()


Typical usage:

set(QT4_WRAP_UI_DIR UI/AutoGen )
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${QT4_WRAP_UI_DIR})
QT4_WRAP_UI(myproject_FORMS_HEADERS ${myproject_FORMS})
