I appreciate the help of the cmake folks, but note that both suggestions
do currently not work, and this time it wasn't my fault. I want relatively
simple things and have the feeling that I have to write gobs of CMake
definitions to make them work.

Hm. Somehow it never works when I try this. Should ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND
output an .o file? How do I add this to the chicken libraries? I always have
to do some workaround it seems.
So, it would be more helpful if you would fix the CMake build instead
of spending
the time writing these mails. I'm a bit tired of getting told that apparently
I'm too thick for these things...

Even when it's buggy?

Of course.
