Like I said initially, the import does already mark the generated source
dirs as sources.  That is not the problem.  The problem is IntelliJ's
notion of "excluded dirs" which allows users to tell IntelliJ to not scan
those dirs; think of it as an "ignore" flag.

The trouble is that the import marks the Gradle build dir (our target dir)
as excluded.  So even though the directories under target are marked as
source, it is irrelevant because the parent dir has been marked excluded.
