[CMake] Is it possible to show dependent files in Visual Studio "folders" for ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET?

[Fraser Hutchison]

I think this is what the SOURCES arg is for.  You could just duplicate 
the list of DEPENDS files as the SOURCES argument too:

add_custom_target(LIB_NAME DEPENDS ${LIST_OF_HEADERS} SOURCES 
${LIST_OF_HEADERS})

Cheers,
Fraser.
