[cmake-developers] Restriction on target types for GraphViz dependency graph generation

[Attila Krasznahorkay]

Hi Andrey,

I would be extremely happy with an extension to this functionality.

Right now I have way too many targets in my projects to make good sense of them if all of them are put into a single graph. If I would be able to specify that I'd like to see the connections between all the targets with names ".*Pkg$" for instance, that could be very nice.

Cheers,
           Attila
