You have not read the docs carefully enough...the PROPERTIES are called
just BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH and INSTALL_NAME_DIR.  They are
*initialized* by variables called CMAKE_<property-name>.  Try this:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(CTMDCore PROPERTIES
  INSTALL_NAME_DIR "@executable_path/../PlugIns"
  )

INSTALL(TARGETS CTMDCore
  LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
  )
