I am new to CMake and am investigating making the switch from using handwritten 
makefiles to cmake.

I was wondering what the purpose of this method was. (i.e. what is a standard 
use case) 

The reason I ask is that I was hoping to be able to use it to get a complete 
list of sources needed for a given target (I know that its know supposed to 
take in targets, but I did modify the source so that it would recurse through 
targets) and was wondering why this functionality was not already part of it 
(i.e. is it only not there because no one has taken the time to add it, or are 
there good reasons why it should not take target)

The final thing I would like to be able to do is to take a targetName and 
compare the files required by the target to the list of modified files given by 
svn as part of our release scripts to ensure that there are no local 
modification to files of binaries that are being pushed to production.

Thanks in advance for any help
