Is CMake NOT generating the manifests for you?

I think I had to create some "install" rules and then run the  
"Install" project inside the solution. The installation should  
include all the necessary msvc.dll stuff that is needed. I use MSVC  
2005 Pro.

IF (WIN32)
   INSTALL(TARGETS ${HDFViewer_EXE_NAME}
   LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
   ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib
   RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
   )
INCLUDE (InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)
ENDIF (WIN32)
