+write_file
+----------
+
+Deprecated. Use the file(WRITE ) command instead.
+
+::
+
+ write_file(filename "message to write"... [APPEND])
+
+The first argument is the file name, the rest of the arguments are
+messages to write. If the argument APPEND is specified, then the
+message will be appended.
+
+NOTE 1: file(WRITE ... and file(APPEND ... do exactly the same as
+this one but add some more functionality.
+
+NOTE 2: When using write_file the produced file cannot be used as an
+input to CMake (CONFIGURE_FILE, source file ...) because it will lead
+to an infinite loop. Use configure_file if you want to generate input
+files to CMake.
