Summary0003572: INSTALL an empty directory
DescriptionInstalling an empty directory is sometimes necessary. It can be accomplished with

INSTALL(CODE "
  MESSAGE(STATUS \"Installing \${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/myemptydir\")
  MAKE_DIRECTORY(\"\$ENV{DESTDIR}\${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/myemptydir\")
")

but this is somewhat arcane, requiring several levels of learning about escapes, absolute pathnames, and environmental evaluation at install time. A much simpler interface would be:

INSTALL(DIRECTORY DESTINATION myemptydir)
