[CMake] Use of ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND

I'm a real cmake novice, and I find the cmake documentation hard to follow,
because it assumes that you know what you're doing (and I obviously don't) and
doesn't provide examples. I simply want to add to CMakeLists.txt an instruction
to copy the executable created to another directory. I gather that I want to
use ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND, and naively I thought this might do it:
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND( TARGET fubar POST_BUILD COMMAND copy fubar.exe
somepath/fubar.exe)
but although this doesn't trigger a cmake error, it doesn't do anything either,
and doesn't even seem to change Makefile. Can someone point me in the right
direction? I'm using MinGW tools on Windows.
Thanks
Gib
