Thank you, that works.

Now, a related question. Is there some way to successively add files
dependencies to an add_custom_target? I know that DEPENDS does this, but
it'd be nice if I could create a "install-files" target and in various
points in the file add the files which are needed as dependencies.
Otherwise I will basically have a new target for every install line
which installs a generated file.
