AFAIK, the status message you complain about is hard-coded in the
FILE(INSTALL ...) command which is used in the cmake_install.cmake
script: "The INSTALL signature differs slightly from COPY: it prints
status messages, ..." [Documentation of FILE()]. So, the best you can
probably do is to use a suitable regex suppressing the unwanted output:

make install | grep -v '^-- '
