Hi Alan, I have a question here. Why bother to call both ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND
and ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET? It seems like only ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET with ALL
parameter is enough. Does your method have some advantage?

See above quote from Alexandru.  Also, if you read the ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET
documentation, the reason why it always rebuilds is fully explained there.

"The target has no output file and is ALWAYS CONSIDERED OUT OF DATE...."
