@Michael: that advice is not correct.  add_custom_command sets up a
command to be run at "make" time. Instead, the execute_process command
should be used to run a command at "CMake" time which is what the OP
needs to generate his *.cpp files.

@LuxInteg:  See the CMakeLists.txt file at
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/bindings/qt_gui/pyqt4/
for an example of generating source code with sip.
