That boggles my mind. I tried install(FILES...) and it does the same
thing!!@#????
The cmake docs do not mention anything about such transformations,
anywhere. The string "#!" does not even occur in the docs. The install doc
says it simply copies the files, which is clearly a lie. Since there's no
mention that this "feature" even exists, I've no idea how to turn it off -
install won't allow a COPYONLY tag like configure_file, I tried. Sigh. Did
I mention I hate cmake?
