The other issue is VS builds.  At one point, I had some magic, cmake 
language to custom command converter thing going for this, but I am 
thinking it might be broken.   If we did a pure custom-command version, 
it would work in the IDE's (Xcode and VS) with no problem.  Right now, 
your stuff will likely only work with makefiles.
