[Cmake] Command to specify "non-source" files

[Amitha Perera]

Prompted by Fred's message from a while ago (below), I wonder if CMake
should have a separate command to specify non-compiled files, such as
header files and these .in files. Perhaps with some way to give them a
title. This would enable, under Visual Studio, for people to edit
these files in a single environment, and it could potentially be used
for any other IDE. Something like
  AUXILLARY_FILES( "Headers"  a.h b.h c.h )

Or perhaps CMake should simply classify any "non-source" file as a
header file.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Amitha.
