Summary0014209: please document CMakeConfigurableFile.in
DescriptionEvery now and then it is useful to be able to write a file at configure time for use as input to some build command, for which it is desirable to not change the time stamp if the content would not change. This appears to be why CMakeConfigurableFile.in exists (or at least, it is being used this way by a number of projects - including, most notably, VXL, VTK and ITK). It would be nice if this usage was documented somewhere, both to make it more discoverable, and as a reassurance to anyone that otherwise stumbles across it that it isn't going to go away in a future version of CMake.

The file is meant for exactly this purpose and won't be going anywhere. Please create a topic adding documentation to the configure_file command, push to stage, and merge to next.
