[Cmake] QT setup: list all .ui files

[Bitter, Ingmar (NIH/CC/DRD)]

I don't mind renaming a file to foo.cpp.unused in order to remove it from
the list of files considered for a build.  I think that that is about the
same effort as finding it in the list of source files and commenting it out.
But with *.ui or similar one can make the common case fast.  It would not be
needed to edit the setup files when adding another call to the project -
very convenient.  It also helps to eliminate dead code!

Please consider adding it to the next release.

There is no way to do it directly.
I guess you could try something like this:

http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2003-March/001412.html
In that example, an EXEC_PROGRAM is used to call dir, you
would have to IF(UNIX) and add an ls version to work cross platform.

It would not be that hard to add this feature, and it may get
added in the future.   However, its omission was intentional.
I have found it hard to work with makefiles that use *. in them.
You end up building old files, and temporary files that you did not
mean to create in the directory.   Also, there is no way to remove
a file from the build without removing the file.    If all the files
are explicitly listed, they can be commented out, and un-commented without
having to remove the file.
