Summary:                    COMPONENT ignored when appearing after DESTINATION's
Description: 
It seems that unlike what the documentation suggests the position of the
"COMPONENT" part of an install() command is not arbitrary. The attached project
shows that the generated cmake_install.cmake file has the 'Unspecified'
component set for the 'foo' target, but the expected 'applications' component
set for the 'bar' target.

The only difference between both is that the 'bar' target has COMPONENT before
the various DESTINATION entries and 'foo' has COMPONENT after them.

I tried CMake 2.8.11.2, 2.8.10 and 2.8.8 and all of them show the same incorrect
(IMO) behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Run cmake on the attached minimal example
2. Inspect cmake_install.cmake and verify the components used for the 'foo' and
'bar' targets respectively
