[CMake] INSTALL_PROGRAMS and shell scripts

[mingy at hlw.co.at]

thx for the info :) very useful.

but whats about the recursive filegroups? i found some post which say that
in the current version of cmake it's not possible to generate vc6 projects
which have sub-sub...-source groups (folders).

Has the current cvs this capability?

thx,

mingy
