Summary0006438: autoheader equivalent functionality wanted
Descriptionautoheader from autotools creates config.h.in files from configure.ac files, which simplifies creating new config #defines quite a bit.
obviously, cmake should have something similar. ;)
to support putting the variables into particular files, the macros need to allow specifying a file:

check_include_files(unistd.h HAVE_OPENPTY config-pty.h.in "Defined if the system has the openpty() function")
etc.

if the description is omitted, a reasonable one is auto-generated.
if the file is omitted, everything is written to a current file which is set via another macro and defaults to config.h.

What if there were a command for this?

create_config_file( DEFINE_VARS ${DEFINE_VARS}
                    DEFINE_VALUE_VARS ${DEFINE_VALUE_VARS})

The variables listed in DEFINE_VARS would be done like this:

#cmakedefine VAR

The ones in DEFINE_VALUE would be:
#define VAR @VAR@

// that would allow for 0 to be a value.
