I now have a patch that creates an automoc4_init target globally and all other 
targets using automoc depend on it.
This target runs
autmoc4 --touch ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/automoc4_init.files
The file it opens contains a list of all the filepaths to the 
*_automoc.cpp.files of the project.

So when automoc4_init is executed all automoc custom commands are made out-of-
date. There's also no race with this anymore.

make target/fast will work most of the time. Until _automoc.cpp gets changed 
and has a newer timestamp than _automoc.cpp.files. Then you need to run a 
non-/fast make and it'll work again.

Now, for some reason qt4_generate_moc stopped working for me. I don't see how 
that could be related, if it is and you have an idea please take a look.

Patch attached.
