Summary:                    configure_file: change in the generated config file
does not triger regeneration on make
Description: 
We have a project, which generates a configuration file. If the file is changed
outside of CMake and then a make is issued, the configuration file is not
regenerated. On the other hand, if cmake is issued in the binary directory, the
configuration file is freshly regenerated.
Shouldn't the generated config file be monitored for an outside change and
regenerated if needed? After all, it is almost like another target during the
build process.
