    file: Add GENERATE command to produce files at generate time · b983a58b
    Stephen Kelly authored and Brad King's avatar Brad King committed
    The idea is to write to a temp file which contains generator
    expressions, and at generate time, evaluate the generator expressions,
    and write the result to a file.
    
    Because executables on Windows are limited in the length of command line
    it is possible to use, it is common to write command line arguments to a
    file instead and specify the file as a source of arguments.
    
    This new FILE(GENERATE) subcommand allows the use of generator
    expressions to create such files so that they can be used with
    add_custom_command for example.
