That's definitely the long-term intent; in the meantime, an intermediate
solution would be to do the following:

INSTALL(CODE "EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND install_name_tool -change
/path/to/external.dylib @executable/external.dylib
\${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin/my_binary)")

 ... for each combination of binary / external dependency.  For a
reasonably-large project this list gets painfully long, but it does give a
sense of the scope of the problem ;)

One improvement on this approach might be a wrapper for install_name_tool
that would do regex replacements - many similar install names could be
altered in one-step, or one-at-a-time based on developer preference.

Cheers,
Tim
