Summary0006618: Disply message at end of install
DescriptionIt would be great if it were possible to display a message to the user after the install as complete. This would be things like telling the user where binaries are installed, where to find documentation, where the headers/libraries were installed.

I tried doing this with INSTALL(CODE "MESSAGE(\"Message\")") but I couldn't find a way to guarantee that it would be displayed last and according to the docs, there is no guarantee as to the ordering of INSTALL() commands anyway.

Would it be an option for you to create an extra directory, which is processed last (i.e. there is no other add_subdirectory() after that add_subdirectory(finish_install) ). When installing, this directory will be processed last and everything you do inside there will appear at the end.

Does that help ?
