[cmake-developers] Recommended usage of OBJECT_DEPENDS

Hi,
we hit an issue in KDE related to the usage (or not-usage) of the
OBJECT_DEPENDS source file property.
In KDEs FindQt4.cmake the macro
qt4_generate_moc(inCppFile outMocFile)
uses the OBJECT_DEPENDS property to enforce that the moc file is generated
before the cpp file is built.
This seems to work reliably, at least I haven't heard of any problems with
this since years.
Now the same macro in cmake does not set the OBJECT_DEPENDS property.
Should it ?
Is enforcing such a dependency a valid use case for OBJECT_DEPENDS ?
Alex
