/** \class cmAddCustomCommandCommand
 * \brief 
 *
 *  cmAddCustomCommandCommand defines a new command that can
 *  be executed within the CMake
 *
 *  In makefile terms this creates new target in the following form:
 *  OUTPUT1: SOURCE DEPENDS
 *           COMMAND ARGS
 *  OUTPUT2: SOURCE DEPENDS
 *           COMMAND ARGS
 *  ...
 *  Example of usage:
 *  ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
 *             SOURCE ${VTK_TIFF_FAX_EXE} 
 *             COMMAND ${VTK_TIFF_FAX_EXE} 
 *             ARGS -c const ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/tiff/tif_fax3sm.c 
 *             TARGET vtktiff 
 *             OUTPUTS ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/tiff/tif_fax3sm.c
 *                    )
 *  This will create custom target which will generate file tif_fax3sm.c
 *  using command ${VTK_TIFF_FAX_EXE}.
