Yes, that's annoying. Maybe such a script should be distributed with 
CMake? (I don't think it would work well as a command; you still need to 
be able to pass -D's to set the replacement values, and at that point 
there probably isn't enough difference between '-E configure_file' and 
'-P $CMAKE_ROOT/Modules/ConfigureFile.cmake' to justify how much more 
effort is required to implement the former, vs. the latter just means 
adding a very short script to CMake's distribution.
