[CMake] File permissions on CONFIGURE_FILE output

[Aaron_Wright at selinc.com]

I tried your way Michael and liked the simplicity of it, however, it 
seemed that CMake configuration would have to run much more often in my 
case, because the file I want to append to the configured file is a 
source/header file and it will be modified frequently during development. 
I also didn't use the FILE(COPY) command because it didn't seem to be able 
to change permissions on a file in-place, and I didn't want to figure out 
a place to copy the file from or to that was different than where it 
already was. It was just easier to use the FILE(READ), FILE(REMOVE), 
FILE(WRITE) method suggested by Chris. 

Seems like a FILE(PERMISSIONS) command would be useful.

You're right, I could have sworn that file(COPY...) has been around for 
ages ;-)
