There is no command to install an entire tree.  You can put a
CMakeLists.txt file in each directory, and then do

INSTALL_FILES(/doc/foo/bar "\\.(html|doc)$")

in each directory.  This will work for all non-generated documentation in
the source tree.  To install generated documentation, use

INSTALL_FILES(/doc/foo/bar .html file1 file2 ...)

where "file1.html", "file2.html", ... are the generated files.

Better support for installation is on our to-do list.
