[CMake] file (GLOB) on linux with CMake 2.8

[Ryan Pavlik]

This kind of looks like you're trying to avoid hardcoding the names of 
your source files.  This might be a bug (in which case, please do file 
it - better to file a bogus bug than to let a real one slip by), but in 
any case, you probably don't want to do this.  Instead, do an "ls" in 
your directory to get a list of files, and do a "set(SOURCES)" command 
and paste your file list in, or some similar technique.

See this link for some info on why:
