[Cmake] QT setup: list all .ui files

[Bill Hoffman]

There is one other problem.   CMake will not automatically run
itself when new files are added and removed from the directory.
That will be up to the user.    Which could be confusing, as
you could type make many times, and not get new files.    CMake
puts depends into the Makefile on the CMakeLists.txt file, so
if you add/remove a file from a list of files cmake will automatically
re-run the next time make is run.

As I said, it will most likely get added, but I consider it poor style,
and am pretty sure that projects using the feature will have confused users
posting the cmake list.....
