Summary0007941: public_headers property does not support sub-directories
DescriptionIt would be nice to support sub-directories in the OS X Framework Headers directory.
I know this is not "recommended practice", but for portability reasons this may be required, and it is supported by the compiler, so there's no reason for CMake not to support it as well.

Currently if a directory is listed in the public_headers property, it seems cmake silently ignores the whole list. It should just copy the listed files and directories. Or at least give a noisy error/warning.

I'm not even sure how to produce a good workaround, there should be a command to copy specified files into specified locations in the Headers or Resources directory... currently it seems this can only be put in the "root" of these directories, no way to specify subdirectories...?

 Another related mailing list post, which provides a more reasonable workaround:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-August/023314.html [^]

That might actually be a considered a pretty good solution, so perhaps this could be considered a documentation issue. MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION should suggest it can be used to produce subdirectories within the standard framework/bundle directories, and PUBLIC_HEADER, PRIVATE_HEADER, and RESOURCE property documenation should refer to using MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION if subdirectories are required.

Alternatively, PUBLIC_HEADER, PRIVATE_HEADER, and RESOURCE should provide a way to specify subdirectories directly, which would be a little cleaner.
