Not sure about earlier cmake versions.
What Alex means is that in CMake 2.4 files are not overwritten unless the new ones are different in order to preserve modification times. I think what you want though is to install a file only if it is not already installed whether it is different or not. This way a default config file can be installed but the user can edit it without worrying about a future installation blowing away changes.
