In case it's useful, here's a macro to copy an arbitrary file form the source directory to the binary directory. The dependencies work such that the file is not copied if the destination is up-to-date.

This is working fine for me, but suggested improvements are very welcome.

Thanks,

You are aware that configure_file with the COPYONLY argument does just that at CMake-time?
