Hrmm, I should be knowing this fully, but somehow I'm currently not entirely sure, but IMHO using configure_file() should provide exactly that. I.e. configure_file() from original file to the destination file which you then file(STRINGS...), and it should trigger re-configure whenever the original file changed.
