Hi,

I recently added support to a project to build its API documentation [1].

The documentation is generated by doxygen.
I used `add_custom_command()` to run doxygen and I use `BYPRODUCTS` to
specify the output directory that will be generated by doxygen in the
hope that this would tell ninja to remove it when the `clean` target
is run.

However this doesn't work because ninja complains that the directory
isn't empty.
Is `BYPRODUCTS` not supposed to be used with directories, or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Dan.
