I looked into it a bit and found that the SOURCES target property already 
exists. I was going to just add 

                                                                                                                                                                                              
+    for(std::vector<std::string>::iterator i = this-
>ObjectLibraries.begin();                                                                                                                                     
+        i != this->ObjectLibraries.end(); ++i)                                                                                                                                                                    
+      {                                                                                                                                                                                                           
+      ss << sep;                                                                                                                                                                                                  
+      sep = ";";                                                                                                                                                                                                  
+      ss << "$<TARGET_OBJECTS:" + *i + ">";
+      }              

and make set_source_files_properties ignore entries of the form 
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>, but I wonder if it would be better to create a new 
property?

Thanks,

Steve.
