[CMake] add_executable with generated files

[Tom Kacvinsky]

My mistake, the tutorials I looked at were for using generated files in
add_library.  I do have a working add_library with generated files, but I
can't seem to get generated files to work with add_executable.  So is there
a difference between the two?  add_library allows for use of generated
files, but add_executable does not?
