[CMake] adding files to a custom target

[Timenkov Yuri]

Use add_custom_command to compile your files. This one accepts source and
destination file names for proper dependency handling.
Next, use add_custom_target command with dependencies on add_custom_target's
output.
For example:
add_custom_command(OUTPUT myscript.compiled
 COMMAND compile_script myscript.src
 DEPENDS myscript.src)
add_custom_target(BuildScripts DEPENDS myscript.compiled VERBATIM)

Something like this. See documentation for both commands. Of course, you can
use single custom target for all your scripts, and you can write macro to
wrap script's sources with add_custom_command.
