InstallShellScript.cmake

# Schedules a file to be installed by the 'install' target, but first
# transformed by configure_file(... @ONLY) as well as by changing the
# shell script's hashbang (#!) line to use the absolute path to the
# interpreter in the path of the user running ./configure (or CMake equiv.).
#
# Hashbangs are not transformed when in binary packaging or cross-compiling
# mode because that can result in inserting paths on the build system
# that are not valid on the target system.
#
# _dstdir: absolute path to the directory in which to install the transformed
#     source file
# _srcfile: path relevant to CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR pointing to the shell
#     script to install
# [_dstfilename]: an optional argument for how to (re)name the file as
#     it's installed inside _dstdir
