Sure, have a look at src/uae-cpu/CMakeLists.txt, we're already doing
similar things there. add_custom_command() should do the job.

Since all the python UI build logic is (or at least should be) handled
from python-ui/CMakeLists.txt already, and since we've got a
python-check in the main CMakeLists.txt already and only include
python-ui/CMakeLists.txt if python is available, there should not be any
new problem here.
