Eclipse-CDT: What is the best way to add a custom build step?

Question

I have a file in my project that I need to compile with an external tool, and the output of this is a couple of .c and .h files.

What is the best way to integrate this into my Eclipse-CDT build?

• Ideally, I can reference an external tool using a relative path
• Ideally, Eclipse will know if I modified this file so that it starts the external tool again.

I tried adding something to the Builders section of the Project Properties section with mixed results.
