I got this to work by simply changing INSTALL(TARGETS chicken.info ..) to
INSTALL(FILES chicken.info ...)  (see attached patch)

If I understand the documentation (which is, indeed, horrible) correctly,
the ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT .. DEPENDS ..) creates _not_ a makefile target
(targets are symbolic names for high-level targets IIUC) but a FILE which
can be the DEPENDENCY for any TARGET.  So when you get to INSTALL it, you need
to refer to the FILE instead of the TARGET.

(I feel like I am screaming here :P )

I hope this makes some sense to you now.  You need to stop thinking in terms
of regular make, I think that's what's causing you all these headaches.
In regular make targets are identical to output filenames.  It looks like
that's simply not the case with CMake.

I need to install the latest CVS from CMake for that.  I'll have a look at that
too when I find the time.

Hope this helps,
Peter
