This will stop running cmake configure step from rebuilding binary data every time unnecessarily (with Ninja)

Not checked to see if you’ve already done this in JUCE 8 yet, this is a patch against the JUCE 7 JUCEUtils.cmake but I’m guessing it won’t have changed.

This still rebuilds the binary data files if the source data/timestampes have changed, I tested it.

Thanks, this looks sensible, added here:
