That's exactly what we do now so I suspect you meant something else.

Do you have some changes you would recommend for
examples/Makefile.examples.in before it is configured and installed as
examples/Makefile? I have updated that file a lot recently. Such
CMake-based configuration is pretty powerful so my recent changes or some
additional changes to that file should solve most if not all of your needs.

We tell CMake what the permissions should be on all installed files. Is
there some file(s) where the permission is coming out wrong (i.e., set to
executable, when the file should not be executed)? Or are you drawing
attention to some redundancy in the way that CMake assures the permissions
comes out right? If the former, the fix is easy. If the latter, it is a
CMake issue.
