FYI -- I know we discourage in-source builds heavily.... but -- we do still support them, so: And in such a case where the source and build trees are the same, it's still important to use a .in extension (or something) on the input file to make it different from the output file. Use a .in extension on configure_file inputs unless you also have code in place to prohibit in-source builds.
