Add the files to a real target and mark the files as headers:


macro(add_info_files)
     foreach(_it ${ARGN})
         if(NOT IS_DIRECTORY ${_it})
             get_filename_component(name ${_it} NAME)
             if(NOT ${_it} MATCHES "^/\\\\..*$;~$")
                 set_source_files_properties(${_it} PROPERTIES HEADER_FILE_ONLY TRUE)
             endif()
         endif()
     endforeach()
endmacro()


set(info README Changelog)
add_info_files(${info})
add_library(foo ${real_source_files} ${info})
