Write multiline text to file with path given by generator expression

Usage

You probably want file(GENERATE), which can use generator expressions but writes the file during the CMake generation phase:

file(GENERATE
    OUTPUT "$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/qt.conf"
    CONTENT "${text_to_write}"              # Use one of these two
    #INPUT "/path/to/somewhere/qt.conf"     #
)
