indeed the proper solution that worked for me (cmake 2.6.4) was:

install(DIRECTORY . DESTINATION ${COSMO_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR}
FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.h"
   PATTERN ".svn" EXCLUDE
  )

I do not understand why I need to explicitely state

  PATTERN ".svn" EXCLUDE

(what if tomorrow I switch to CVS, git, or mercurial), so I reverted
to good ol' :

file(GLOB header_files "*.h" "*.txx")
install(FILES ${header_files}
  DESTINATION include/proj COMPONENT Headers
  )

Cheers
