I would like to be able to pass arguments to my generated Makefile.

Suppose I use an environment variable like this:

add_custom_target(run_dev_script
    COMMAND ${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE} ${PREREQUISITE}
    COMMAND ${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE} ${SCRIPT}
    )

Would that actually work?
In theory ${SCRIPT} is substituted at cmake time, so I have the
impression that it wouldn't work..
I don't find anything useful in cmake -E however, that would allow me to
do something at make time.
Any suggestions?
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
PROJECT(P NONE)
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(echo ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo \${ECHO})

After initial configuration:

% make echo ECHO="Hello World"
Scanning dependencies of target echo
Hello World
Built target echo
% make echo ECHO="Goodbye World"
Goodbye World
Built target echo

% make echo ECHO="Regards, Michael"
Regards, Michael
Built target echo

Ah that's nice thanks, I'm not sure though that I can rely on being >= 2.8 always,
and that's probably a requirement, right?
