Summary

0010424: Need more control over "make clean" files

Description

I know about the ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES directory property, but this is lacking in at least two respects:

1. Wildcard patterns cannot be specified. Specifying e.g. "*.tmp" causes cmake_clean.cmake to attempt to delete a file named "*.tmp".

2. Filenames with spaces cannot be specified. "foo bar" deletes two files named "foo" and "bar". The set_directory_properties() call is very limiting in that everything has to go in a single argument; you can't give a list, as that runs afoul of the "propN valueN" argument convention. Even s_d_p(A_M_C_F ${list_of_files}) doesn't work.

I would like to see a new call ("clean()"?) that allows specifying a list of filenames/directories with or without wildcards---a counterpart to the CLEANFILES variable in Automake.
