[CMake] Source code configuration management in CMake?

I have an existing large hierarchically structured code base, but I want
to extract a cut-down source code tree that only contains the source
code files necessary for a particular project. The files I don't want
are scattered through-out the code tree.
I want to be able to extract this cut-down tree on demand, including
modifications to the CMakeLists.txt (and a few other places) to remove
references to removed files. I need to do this for a variety of
licensing and quality-audit reasons. Just adding some option to my
CMakeLists.txt files to exclude files from the compilation will not be
enough.
Obviously I can do this manually, or write a perl script to do it. But I
was hoping there was some smart way to do this file filtering with CMake
- Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Ian Scott.
Example: I currently have:
ROOT--libA--a_blah.cxx
| |----a_foo.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
|
|----libB--b_wibble.cxx
| |----b_bar.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
| |----tools--super_duper_tool.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
|----etc
|
|----gui---gui.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
I want to be able to produce on demand:
RESTRICTED_ROOT
|----libA--a_blah.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
|
|----libB--b_wibble.cxx
| |----CMakeLists.txt
|
|----gui---gui.cxx
|----CMakeLists.txt
