The work "build" here is completely useless - what is "building a library"? to 
me it's linking - and this is exactly what we want to avoid. We're only 
interested in the compiling. 

BTW: is it possible to INCLUDE() a generated file? I wasn't able to write a 
custom command/target that would generate an include statement.
