Hi Bill,

this doesn't result in any output at all:
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND (COMMAND cd .
                                                   WORKING_DIRECTORY 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})

I think "cd ." cannot work, because there is no cd.exe under Windows. I 
even tried "C:/WINNT/System32/cmd.exe /C cd .", but this didn't work either.

Regards,

Martin
