[CMake] CMake and create/install additional files

[David Cole]

Try this:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(BuildDeMo ALL
  DEPENDS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/de.mo"
)

The custom target will build when "all" builds or when you build it
specifically. The fact that it depends on the output of the custom
command will cause the custom command to build whenever the target
builds...

HTH,
David
