After digging through the cmake docs I found the "proper" way of  
doing what I wanted. But it still does not work.

I did exactly as it said in the above web link and it still does NOT  
produce the desired results which would be a library with  
"@executable_path/../PlugIns/libMyLib.dylib" as the install name

So again, what am I doing wrong. Between each run I completely nuke  
my build directory and start fresh.

According to the docs I should be able to do this. So someone show me  
how.
