[CMake] Need ability to install only dll portion of target (no lib)

[Clinton Stimpson]

Also, if you want to support the .lib for development installs, then you 
can do something like

INSTALL(TARGETS mytarget
 RUNTIME DESTINATION bin COMPONENT Runtime
 LIBRARY DESTINATION bin COMPONENT Runtime
 ARCHIVE DESTINATION bin COMPONENT Development
 )

Then when you invoke the install, you specify Runtime and/or Development.
