Yup. Should work out of the box.

  ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
    OUTPUT    /full/path/to/myexe
    COMMAND   buildserver
    ARGS      -o myexe -f myexe.o
    DEPENDS   /full/path/to/myexe.o
    COMMENT   "Generating exe"
  )


The only issue with that those target are marked UTILITIES (read only
property) and thus you have to use INSTALL(PROGRAMS to be able to
install them
