[CMake] Executable depending on all source files

[Russell Wallace]

I don't understand what you mean, but explicit listing violates DRY in
a big way with the usual consequence, the two lists will inevitably
get out of sync. I'd rather use globbing (unless CMake has some other
method that doesn't involve trying to keep things in sync by hand)?
Even plain Make can use globbing reliably.
