wildcards in DEPENDS

[Matthias Kretz]

Hi,

is it portable to use wildcards in DEPENDS? Like in
add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${_automoc_source}
         COMMAND ${AUTOMOC4_EXECUTABLE}           
         DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/*
         COMMENT ""                                                                                
         VERBATIM                                                                                  
         )

This seems to be a better solution to get automoc4 to run whenever it's needed 
(I'll add some more dependencies than the above, but the * part is what I'm 
wondering about).

I have the feeling my --touch hack is too fragile for the real world, as can 
be seen with the many problem reports about kwordwraptest. It happens because 
the timestamps of kwordwraptest_automoc.cpp and 
kwordwraptest_automoc.cpp.files tell make that automoc4 doesn't need to run. 
Though my intention was that .files is always more recent than the .cpp...
