Summary:                    add_custom_command does not allow for std*
connection
Description: 
add_custom_command overlaps with execute_process, however, does not allow for
the same operations as execute_process. Most notably, it does not allow for
connection of stdin, stdout and stderr (and writing them into files).

Bug: add_custom_command should be as least as powerful as execute_process.

Note: It would be preferable if execute_process and add_custom_command were
unified, as in their redundancy removed.
