All ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES does is set OBJECT_DEPENDS on the source. So, it will not cause a custom command to run. It will cause a .o file to be compiled. It is a different thing than the DEPENDS of a custom command. Which will add a depend to the custom command, and will re-run the custom command if that depend changes. OBJECT_DEPENDS currently only affects the building of an object file. I hereby make a feature request, that all dependency mechanisms work uniformly.  :-)  Motive: it is easier to write macros when dependencies can be handled independently (ha ha, very funny that) and don't have to be passed around as arguments to MACROS wrapping ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND.  This improves automation and readability.
