[CMake] installing targets under different name

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Alex,

I think maybe there should be another tag, something like:

FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "/usr/local/lib" TYPE FILE FILES
OUTPUT_NAME "libkdevlop_something_or_another.so"
"/usr/src/kde3-svn/kdevelop/lib/kdevelop/libkdevelop.so")

Then we could use target property to set this name:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(kdevelop
  PROPERTIES
  INSTALL_OUTPUT_NAME "kdevelop_something_or_another")
