[CMake] Project structure

[kent williams]

It's not very elegant, but this will have the desired effect:

1. make sure the library SUBDIR is in your CMakeLists.txt before any
other subdir that depends on it.
2. use add_custom_command to copy the library, once built, into each subdir.
3. use install in each subdir to install the library where you want it.
