[CMake] qt4_create_translation and add_dependencies

[Clinton Stimpson]

Try something like this:

add_subdirectory(app_library)

file (GLOB TRANSLATIONS_FILES translations/*.ts)
qt4_create_translation(QM_FILES ${FILES_TO_TRANSLATE} $ 
{TRANSLATIONS_FILES})
add_custom_target (translations_target DEPENDS ${QM_FILES})

add_subdirectory(app_executable)
