Well, that's what CMake does by itself whenever it sees that it's needed (or 
at least thinks it is), e.g., if you upgraded some dependency. E.g., I've 
seen the CMake-produced makefiles auto-rerun CMake on my projects after 
upgrading Qt. Thankfully, CMake is so fast (due to being native C++ code) 
that it is barely noticeable.
