Since GeneratorRunner contains an application (generatorrunner) and a library (genrunner) the installation file hierarchy should be, for what I have understand, something equivalent to the example given in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Bundles_And_Frameworks#Framework_.2B_Unix_tools

I tried messing with RUNTIME DESTINATION setting it to "bin" but that didn't help.

Now you only have to use execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink ...) to create a symlink somewhere in your build tree that points to the executable inside the framework (either using a relative path or the absolute install-path) and then install it using install(FILES ...).
