[CMake] Need help with GLOB expression

[James Bigler]

The regular expression syntax is documented under the 'string' command
in the help files.  There's also a wiki entry:
http://vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Which_regular_expressions_are_supported_by_CMake.3F

I couldn't get file(GLOB_RECURSE sources "*.(h|cpp)") to work.  "*.h"
would catch all the h files, "*.cpp" would catch all the cpp files,
but the expression above didn't catch both.

Robert, if the regular expression doesn't work for you, you could
always just run the command twice and concatenate the results:
file(GLOB_RECURSE h_files "*.h")
file(GLOB_RECURSE hpp_ipp_files "*.[hi]pp")
set(files "${h_files}" "${hpp_ipp_files}")
