[cmake-developers] Generator expressions for install destination

[Robert Goulet]

Ok so that brings the question, how is 3.4 schedule looking?

We really wanted to get install(FILES) destination genex in CMake 3.4 release version... this is a bit disappointing because we'll have to stick with our custom branch another round. Oh well.

Thanks.

Thanks, Steve.  I suspected this which is why I called your attention to this review.  Reverted.

Robert, this feature is going to have to wait until post-3.4 development opens so it can be based on Steve's refactoring work.  I suspect it will be easier to implement after that refactoring anyway.  Sorry this trouble was not identified earlier in review.
