Yes, targets that are not part of "make all" would be definitely helpful, also only building specific targets (such as a test program, a particular library or the documentation) would be required. How to support EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL? The "make install" case wouldn't be too dramatic, one could just run "cmake -P cmake_install.cmake" manually.
