Thats not supported at the moment at all in the custom make support, so
you'd probably have to add quite a bunch of code. Its probably easier to
select the source-dir and then choose "Custom Make" from the drop-down

Its invoked for any kind of project item in the project model,
directories, files even targets. And it always has to return an absolute
directory.
