Thanks a lot for the hint! While this is not exactly what I was looking for 
(would have to rename the ".c" files to ".h"), it actually pointed me to a 
solution, namely declaring the files as "HEADER_FILE_ONLY" with 
the "set_source_files_properties" command and including them in the source 
list. It's a bit more verbose than I hoped it would be, but does the job.

	Kind regards,
