Summary: please document CMakeConfigurableFile.in
Description:
Every now and then it is useful to be able to write a file at configure time for
use as input to some build command, for which it is desirable to not change the
time stamp if the content would not change. This appears to be why
CMakeConfigurableFile.in exists (or at least, it is being used this way by a
number of projects - including, most notably, VXL, VTK and ITK). It would be
nice if this usage was documented somewhere, both to make it more discoverable,
and as a reassurance to anyone that otherwise stumbles across it that it isn't
going to go away in a future version of CMake.
