Yeah I may end up having to do that...  really annoying.  Right now,
I'm trying to figure out how to use ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES.

If I do this:

    LIST(APPEND extra_libopts_clean_files
        ./libopts/.libs/libopts.o
        ./libopts/.libs/libopts.la
        ./libopts/.libs
        ./libopts/_libs
        ./libopts/libopts.la
        ./libopts/so_locations
        ./libopts/*.o
        ./libopts/*.lo
    )

    SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES(PROPERTIES
        ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES ${extra_libopts_clean_files})

I get an error about too many args to SET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTIES.  And
If I specify each file individually, it appears that only the last
takes effect (basically subsequent calls overwrite the previous
value).  Surely there is a way to specify multiple files right?

Honestly, both of these solutions are just hacks.... it seems like
cmake really should have a way to add to the 'clean' and 'install'
pseudo-targets.
