[CMake] install(EXPORT ...)

[Michael Wild]

I just found out that in the new CMake-2.8 there is also

export(PACKAGE package_name)

which adds your build-tree to the user's package database and helps  
CMake finding build-trees when using find_package(package_name) from  
another project. However, this still requires that you create an  
export-file in the build tree and you need a valid package_name- 
config.cmake in the build-tree. Very useful, IMHO.
