An admin that doesn't have a eol-aware editor shouldn't do
administration tasks anyway. I'd accept that statement for "normal"
Desktop users who might use notepad, but then again those people
seldomly search for a config file, they normally search for config
options in the application itself.

A workaround for what you want, would be to read the config file, change the
lineendings, write it to a temp file and then let cmake install that
temp file. (reading and writing can be done with cmake, but I don't know
the exact commands atm).
