Dont really know what you want?

May be you can just use the CMake
INSTALL command to install your header?

May be you could explain what you want CMake to do with the file?
Why do you want the header to be a "target"?

Don't know. My usage of CMake for windows/visual is more simple than that.

you may define a CMake variable
SET(MYCFLAGS "jkdlfjlj")
SET(MYLDFLAGS "ljjl")

then you may use
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(target1 target2
                                           PROPERTIES
                                           COMPILE_FLAGS ${MYCFLAGS}
                                           LINK_FLAGS ${MYLDFLAGS})


> iv) How to make several executables share the same TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES

You may define another var

SET(WHATEVER_LIBS lib1 lib2 lib3)

then
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(target1 ${WHATEVER_LIBS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(target2 ${WHATEVER_LIBS})
...

Those answers may not be the "definitive" good ones but I hope
they will help you.
