Thanx  But there's still one problem left. Now I have:

add_library(xxx ....)
add_custom_target(pack_jars ....)
..
add_dependencies(pack_jars xxx)
add_dependencies(INSTALL pack_jars)

and it works nicely except that now when I create an NMakefile I have to
call it with 'nmake pack_jars', not just 'nmake'. Is it solveable? Can I
change my 'all' target in NMakefile in such way that it depends on
'pack_jars' from CMakeLists.txt?

I have tried:

add_dependencies(ALL_BUILD pack_jars)

but this results in:

ADD_DEPENDENCIES Adding dependency to non-existent target: ALL_BUILD
