Comment (by sylvain.joyeux):

 About 'all' not triggering 'regen': the general idea is that one should be
 able to separate the code generation from the build (i.e. '''in
 principle''' one should be able to ship the generated orogen component as
 a pure CMake package, without orogen being installed). This is why 'all'
 does not depend on 'regen'

 Moreover, there is no way in CMake to make it restart make. GNUmake can do
 that (you can tell it to restart itself because you modified the
 Makefile), but it is not available from within cmake (my guess is that it
 is not portable). In effect, it means that you '''must''' regen and build
 in two separate commands since orogen generates cmake code.
