[CMake] [binary dir] breaks INSTALL(...) if added to ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(...)

[Peter Visser]

The default build directory works fine, however I would like to group some
components:

ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (Example1 foo)
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (Example2 foo)
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (Example3 bar)
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (Example4 bar)

In my case I can omit the foo and bar since I don't have conflicting names
in the executables/libraries in example 1 to 4. But it is "nice" to have the
components separated already in the build dir for testing without doing a
"make install" first.

Since the ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(...) has nothing to do with the INSTALL(...)
could this be a bug?

Thanks,

Peter.
