[CMake] unit tests include in "all" but not install

[David Cole]

"In general, I want all my unit tests to be built when I do a make
all, but I really don’t care if they are up to date for a make
install."

Are you sure you don't care? If your unit tests are out-of-date with
respect to what you are installing, and you have not run them against
what you are installing .... then how do you have confidence that what
you are installing is acceptable?

Just sayin'...
