[CMake] Exclude file from build on a given target

[Philip Lowman]

If you want to exclude certain source files from certain targets you can use
a list and then list(REMOVE_ITEM...)

set(FOO_SRCS foo.cc bar.cc)
list(REMOVE_ITEM FOO_SRCS bar.cc)
add_library(foo ${FOO_SRCS})

Alternatively, only add the unusual source files to the targets you want.

set(FOO_SRCS foo.cc bar.cc)
if(WHATEVER)
   list(FOO_SRCS APPEND whatever.cc)
endif()
