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.  Correct?
