Summary:                    Teach the "cmake -E echo" command to write to a
file.
Description: 
There are commands to create files, copy files and print strings to stdout. And
cmake already supports the file(WRITE) command.

Having a cross-platform solution to write to files or at least to create files
with content would be awesome.
