To get the effect of that, you wrap your add_custom_command with an
add_custom_target.

add_custom_command(OUTPUT blah ...)
add_custom_target(mytarget DEPENDS blah ...)

Admittedly this is inelegant, but it works.  I have no idea how much
work it would be to remove the distinction between file level and
target level dependencies.
