[CMake] Generated file not found during generation

(This is a repeat email, but my last one may have been in reply to another
message, which it should not have been. So I'm trying again, sorry.)
I have a program that uses the Window's Event Log. Using the event log is
a little goofy; it requires a message resource file. So I set up a custom
command to call mc.exe can create a header and resource file from a
message script (*.mc file). This configures ok, but fails during
generation. It says it can't find the *.rc file. I checked via
GET_SOURCE_FILE_PROPERTY that the *.rc file is marked as generated.
Is this familiar to anyone? I was wondering if Windows was playing a trick
on me or something, and is there a way to work around it? I currently have
to go and create the *.rc file by hand, and re-run CMake. This man-made
*.rc file is then overwritten during building like normal.
