Thanks very much for that suggestion for increasing shell syntax
portability. I just didn't have enough cross-shell experience to realize
dropping the "env" was a bashism.  Now you have drawn my attention to env, I
see it is well documented in man pages, "Unix in a Nutshell", etc., and I
see also that a VERBATIM add_custom_command works perfectly with the
"env" syntax.

Thanks, again!
