The thing is, this is the dir structure for e.g.

Lib1 (library with source files)
+ cmakelists.txt
+
Lib2 (header only, contains template functions, no source files)
+
+
 
If I add the headers to Lib1' cmakelists.txt, the headers will appear under
that project Lib1
They reside under directory lib2 and I wish to see them under project
"Lib2", which not built

I am playing with ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET as we speak,

Using cmake 2.6.4 rc1 which fixes that, so we're fine.
Besides the bug was just a visual bug showing headers excluded from build in
vs2005,
no problems.
