[CMake] How to install files produced by custom targets

[Petr Kmoch]

I just wanted to point out the existence of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL, as it's
related. In your case, however, you're probably better off hardcoding
'make'. It should actually be done the same way you run 'make' in your
custom command creating the library.
