[CMake] Conditional install

[rozelak at volny.cz]

Hallo,

thank you for your reply. I have tried to set the COMPONENT in the INSTALL()
command, but it did not lead to the expected result. The install command
I changed to (ONLY for the target I want to install, inspired by http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2006-October/011362.html):

INSTALL(TARGETS ${LIB_NAME}  DESTINATION lib  COMPONENT dist )

and called as 

>$ cmake COMPONENT=dist -P cmake_install.cmake ../
>$ make
>$ make package # CPack is configured ...

still adds also the targets NOT having COMPONENT filled (the libraries
joined by svn:externals and statically linked) into the package built.
And I cannot change CMakeLists.txt except the one in my target ...


Do you think that my original requirement is meaningful enough for feature
request to be filled?

Thank you very much,
DanT.
