Sure, but there seems to be multiple issues.

1. The 'documented' command placed in the generated source does not
generate the same source:
2. make asn1 modifies the source directory, but it seems to me that it
should not do that because that breaks one of the out-of-tree
guarantees that cmake gives you.
