 Adding a Custom Command and Generated File (Step 6)
 ===================================================
 
-In this section, we will add a generated source file into the build process

-square roots as part of the build process, and then compile that
-table into our application.
+Suppose, for the purpose of this tutorial, we decide that we never want to use

+generate a table of precomputed values to use in the ``mysqrt`` function.

-do just that.

+MathFunctions/CMakeLists. Then remove the check for ``HAVE_LOG`` and
+``HAVE_EXP`` from ``mysqrt.cxx``. At the same time, we can remove
