It's hard for me to decide what is better because 
IOS_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS just came from my mind and I've used it for a 
while already. So now it looks solid for no reason :)

However first note:
   INSTALL_RPATH can be read as when we do INSTALL change RPATH to ... 
(any platform)
   ANDROID_API -//- when we are on ANDROID use next API ...
   WIN32_EXECUTABLE -//- when we are on WIN32 use bla-bla for EXECUTABLE
   OSX_ARCHITECTURES -//- when we are on OSX use ARCHITECTURES
   MACOSX_BUNDLE -//- when we are on MACOSX create BUNDLE

So new property can be read as:
   IOS_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS when we are on IOS do INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS
   INSTALL_IOS_UNIVERSAL_LIBS when we do INSTALL make IOS_UNIVERSAL_LIBS 
(does it mean that when we are on Linux we can install iOS libs? does it 
mean that when we are on OSX without iOS toolchain we can do iOS libs?)

Second note is about future improvements of this feature, installing 
universal libs on OSX or installing universal frameworks, pattern 
<platform>_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_<type>:

    IOS_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS
    IOS_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_FRAMEWORKS

   OSX_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS
   OSX_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_FRAMEWORKS

   INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_LIBS # on both OSX and iOS
   INSTALL_UNIVERSAL_FRAMEWORKS # on both OSX and iOS

   IOS_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL # both libs and frameworks
   OSX_INSTALL_UNIVERSAL # both libs and frameworks

   INSTALL_UNIVERSAL # both libs and frameworks, both OSX and iOS
