Yes, I'm a bit confused here too - this is removing converter and file_converter sources from the dependencies for ansi-c, which in someways makes sense. But should there be some sort of transitive dependency on the converter/file_converter tools so that if those tools get modified, anything that depends on them also gets rebuilt? (possibly adding the dependencies on the tools in the earlier custom_commands?)

I've updated this so that the custom commands depend on the executables they run.
I was confused about this, but it turns out CMake only adds a target-level dependency for commands which reference executables built in the project (i.e. the executable is built before the files it generates). CMake doesn't add a file-level dependency for files built by the executable. By adding an explicit
DEPENDS
to the custom command, we can force CMake to re-generate files that are created by the generator executables whenever the executables are changed.
