Upon further reflection, I think this is a newly introduced bug in
CMake-2.4.4 that urgently needs to be fixed.  Essentially what is going on
is that the namespace of filenames which are mentioned in DEPENDS
subcommands has been contaminated by the target namespace in 2.4.4.  This is
especially bad since targets affect the whole build tree.  Thus, all build
systems (KDE?) with coincidences between any target name and any filename
DEPENDS will be adversely affected by this bug.

I hope to create a simple example and bug report soon.
