Using the include_regular_expression macro made a huge difference. The build time was reduced by more than 50%.

The regular expression appear to be only applied to part of the dependency file path. So in the case of Boost this works pretty well for us because we use #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> but more difficult to remove qt dependency like #include <QDir>. How do you view adding a feature that allow applying regex to the absolute path? Secondly, the documentation of include_regular_expression should probably mention something about the target string (relative path, not absolute).
Maybe CMake could filter out includes in system directories (like gcc -MM does). System directories in this case could be directories added with e.g. include_directories(SYSTEM).
