[Cmake] install from subdirs ?

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Friso,

I just tried CMake install on VTK (fairly large package) with several
executables in different directories and they all seem to work fine:

FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "/tmp/vtktest/bin" TYPE EXECUTABLE FILES
"/home/andy/vtk/VTK-notcl/bin/vtk")

FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "/tmp/vtktest/bin" TYPE EXECUTABLE FILES
"/home/andy/vtk/VTK-notcl/bin/vtkWrapTclInit")

Looking in your CMake file, looks like you are trying to install a
nonexistent target? Is that a case?
