Thank you for your help!

I tried this approach.

CMakeLists.txt

INSTALL (SCRIPT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/CopyIfNotExists.cmake)

CopyIfNotExists.cmake

MACRO (COPY_IF_NOT_EXISTS _SRC _DEST)
	MESSAGE ("Copy ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_SRC} to 
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${_DEST}")
	IF (NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${_DEST})
		EXECUTE_PROCESS (COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_SRC}
                                                          
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${_DEST})
	ENDIF (NOT EXISTS ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${_DEST})
ENDMACRO (COPY_IF_NOT_EXISTS _SRC _DEST)

COPY_IF_NOT_EXISTS ("sample_features" "etc/features")

The problem is ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} is set to the out-of-source 
build directory.

Is this why you said to use a parameterized  cmake script?
