Something like this?

Had to wrap some code in a loop, which is why you best look at the diff ignoring whitespace differences (git diff -w). Also, I had to change some interfaces. I wonder whether the other GetInstall*TargetName functions should also be adapted for consistency (that is, their return-type to be changed from const char* to std::string)

The thing missing so far are the tests...
