[Cmake] running another command

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Nik,

This looks like the right way of doing this. I would make a small change
though. I would add another custom command that would depend on
element_headers.h. This way the headers will not be regenerated every
time. 

So, does it work?

Once CMake 1.6 is out, you should be able to add source file property on
whatever uses element_headers.h that it depends on that header file.
