Yes, I think this makes sense.  The install rules run as part of
the current project's build just like custom commands, so it makes
sense to evaluate generator expressions immediately.  However, the
implementation may be a bit complicated because now cmake_install.cmake
script code will have to branch on BUILD_TYPE to pick which install
rule to run.  There is already infrastructure for this to support
the CONFIGURATIONS option of install(TARGETS) so maybe it is okay.

Thanks,
