Summary:                    Different components for library and link using just
one install command
Description: 
When a library with a SOVERSION is created, the only way to install the library
and the links to the library with a different component is installing the target
twice using NAMELINK_SKIP and NAMELINK_ONLY. For example

  add_library(foo ${foo_SRCS})
  set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES SOVERSION 1)
  install(TARGETS foo
          LIBRARY DESTINATION lib COMPONENT library NAMELINK_SKIP)
  install(TARGETS foo
          LIBRARY DESTINATION lib COMPONENT devel NAMELINK_ONLY)

This is redundant and not intuitive, it would be useful to be able to do this in
just one command, for example:

  install(TARGETS foo
          LIBRARY DESTINATION lib COMPONENT library
                                  NAMELINK_COMPONENT devel)
