Summary:                    INSTALL command does not support a QUIET/SILENT
option
Description: 
It would be very nice if there was a way to force the INSTALL() command not to
print what it is doing:

  -- Installing: /Users/eblot/Source/...
  -- Up-to-date: /Users/eblot/Sources/...
  ...

Rationale: When performing build+install in one step, install verbosity is so
long that important information, such as build warnings, are scrolled out from
the terminal viewport and may remain unnoticed.

I understand that people are likely to want INSTALL() to be verbose, but a
simple option such as INSTALL(... QUIET ...) would be nice when these traces are
not wanted.
