Yes. That's a feature.
The dot-file generation before was buggy and incomplete.
E.g. when running it on kdelibs it produced a file where dependencies were 
missing and also targets were missing.
And if all that was in one file correctly, then the produced dot-file is too 
big to be usable. At least I didn't find a way to view it in a way that I can 
actually see something.
So now there is one dot-file for every target.

You can also put a file named CMakeGraphVizOptions.cmake in CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR 
or CMAKE_BINARY_DIR. This can be used to set option for the dot-file 
generator.

GRAPHVIZ_EXECUTABLES : boolean
GRAPHVIZ_STATIC_LIBS: boolean
GRAPHVIZ_SHARED_LIBS: boolean
GRAPHVIZ_MODULE_LIBS: boolean

GRAPHVIZ_TARGET_IGNORE_REGEX: regex for target names which should be skipped
GRAPHVIZ_IGNORE_TARGETS: list of targets which should be skipped

e.g.
set(GRAPHVIZ_TARGET_IGNORE_REGEX ".+test")
to exclude all tests.

Yes, this is currently completely undocumented.
