[CMake] Inconsistency with INSTALL(TARGETS) destinations...

[Petr Kmoch]

Do you even *have* any LIBRARY targets on Windows? Quoting the docs (
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/command/install.html#installing-targets
):

"Static libraries are always treated as ARCHIVE targets. Module libraries
are always treated as LIBRARY targets. For non-DLL platforms shared
libraries are treated as LIBRARY targets, except that those marked with the
FRAMEWORK property are treated as FRAMEWORK targets on OS X. For DLL
platforms the DLL part of a shared library is treated as a RUNTIME target
and the corresponding import library is treated as an ARCHIVE target. All
Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms."

Unless you're building MODULE libraries, you'll normally only have RUNTIME
(.dll) and ARCHIVE (.lib) targets on Windows, and LIBRARY (.so) and ARCHIVE
(.a) targets on Unixes.
