This is the official way to express the dependency of the target to the generated files. If the files added this way to a target don't have a known extension, they are not processed (compiled) but the dependency is created. This doesn't work for generated files which are included in a source file AND have a known extension (such as moc_foo.cpp). Using OBJECT_DEPENDS works more or less, but not 100%. So, please don't commit this and don't use this. While it will work in many cases, it will not always work and introduce problems. I think there is currently no way to tell cmake not to compile a file with a known extension. Even if this would be added for 2.4.7 or 2.4.8 it wouldn't help us since we require 2.4.5. IOW we have to stay with a non-source-file extension.
