Summary:                    Clarify behavior for relative paths in custom
command DEPENDS
Description: 
The add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands provide DEPENDS options. 
Our own projects always use absolute paths with these DEPENDS option.  We've
never clearly defined how relative paths are treated, but the implementation has
been modified a few times assuming that we always get either target names or
absolute paths.  For example:

 add_custom_command: Normalize OUTPUT and DEPENDS paths.
