Hello Bill,

This seems to be a bug fix:

http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=2722
There was some discussion here:

http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2006-January/007942.html

There seems to be an error in this bug-fix. As I understand it, the intent
was to still allow resolution of @-variables in CONFIGURE_FILE. But that
does not work anymore.

However, I am concerned about backwards compatibility.   It was never
meant to be used in
cmake list files, but it has been inadvertently  supported in them since
the beginning.

Ok, good to know. Fortunately it was not a big problem for me to switch from
@-variables to ${}-variables.
@VAR@ still worked in configure_file. I just tested. However, I have removed this bug fix in cvs,
and it will not be in 2.4.4.   It breaks backwards compatibility too much.

-Bill
