Comment (by leres):

 I don't like the strategy of only checking at configure time. There are a
 lot of scenarios this is a lose but in the simplest case I configure,
 build and install, customize broccoli.bro and then later make a small
 change to a module. When make install again, broccoli.bro gets clobbered.

 I think it's fine to go "behind cmake's back" because we don't want cmake
 to ever clobber this file.  And so it actually seems like an advantage to
 me if broccoli.conf isn't in the install_manifest.
