[CMake] List operations

[kent williams]

The particular reason I use file(GLOB is that I want to find instances
of, for example tclsh -- tclsh tclsh8.5, tclsh8.4 -- whatever it
happens to be named -- so I can remove it from the directory into
which it's built.

The main reason as near as I can figure NOT to use file(GLOB to build
lists of source files is that you have to re-run cmake to pick up any
files added or deleted, right?

In my particular case, I'm running CMake using -P as a script
processor, so there's no problem with the cache getting out of sync.
