Summary:                    Add ability to INSTALL(CODE|SCRIPT ...) that is
always executed at install time regardless of component being installed.
Description: 
At the moment, the INSTALL(CODE|SCRIPT ...) command always generates
install-time code that wraps the script or code passed to the command in an "if"
statement that only executes the code if the selected (or
CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_NAME if none selected) component is currently
being installed.  I'd like to be able to add arbitrary code to the install-time
script without this check.
 
Perhaps a new flag "ALWAYS_EXECUTE" (ok - that's lame) or something like that
could be added to the INSTALL(CODE|SCRIPT ...) command?

Additional Information: 
I'm (very slowly) developing a set of scripts that will allow me to specify
dependencies (a'la augmented-FIND_PACKAGE), but allow them to be managed in an
independent and consistent manner (a'la maven/ivy).  It's all very brittle and
basic ATM... I'm currently working on tying the information gathered from this
step together with information gathered from a slightly augmented
"GetPrerequisites" executed at install time to easily (?) build install
packages.  Tying them together requires that some information from the augmented
FIND_PACKAGE step be placed into the install-time script and executed regardless
of component being installed.
