Summary:                    No way to exclude a component install() from a full
installation
Description: 
There is currently no way to exclude a component install() from a full
installation. Current workarounds using OPTIONAL do not work reliably because
they depend on previous builds and on the order execution of the build and
install commands for the components and the default target

Steps to Reproduce: 
make
make tests
make install
DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests

This results in test components in the default installation as well as the
testpkg

Judging by questions on the mail list, users typically try to overcome this
problem by adding the unsupported EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL keyword to the install
command

Additional Information: 
patch attached that adds support for EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL to the install() command.
