Since GeneratorRunner contains an application (generatorrunner) and a library (genrunner) the installation file hierarchy should be, for what I have understand, something equivalent to the example given in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Bundles_And_Frameworks#Framework_.2B_Unix_tools

I tried messing with RUNTIME DESTINATION setting it to "bin" but that didn't help.

Even though I want this on Mac OS X I'd also want it be installed on $prefix/usr/bin/ on non-Mac OS X platforms same way headers are installed in Headers/ but in $prefix/include/ (PUBLIC_HEADER) and $prefix/lib${LIB_SUFFIX} (RESOURCE) on non-Mac OS X platforms.

set(GENERATORRUNNER_INSTALL_DIR bin)
if(APPLE)
  set(GENERATORRUNNER_INSTALL_DIR Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/bin)
endif()

install(TARGETS genrunner generatorrunner
  RUNTIME DESTINATION ${GENERATORRUNNER_INSTALL_DIR}
  FRAMEWORK DESTINATION Library/Frameworks
  LIBRARY DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
  PUBLIC_HEADER DESTINATION include/generatorrunner
  RESOURCE DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}/cmake
  )

It's not automatic, but should do the trick.
