Preventing Overwriting Of Config Files

[Ollie Cook]

Hi,

I have a small project which has a 'conf'' directory, containing
this Makefile.am:

  EXTRA_DIST = eximstate.conf
  sysconf_DATA = eximstate.conf eximstated.conf

  (eximstated.conf is generated from eximstated.conf.in, hence is
   not in EXTRA_DIST)

When 'make install' is run, eximstated.conf and eximstate.conf are
copied to sysconfdir, even if pre-existing (and probably modified)
versions of the configurations files already exist.

Is there a way to only install these files if they don't already
exist?

Cheers,

Ollie
