Use either the INSTALL(CODE... or INSTALL(SCRIPT... signatures.  Either of
those allows you to execute arbitrary CMake code (and thus do essentially
anything you like) at install time.

Once you get ln to work, I would change that to the cmake -E create_symlink
command for best cross-platform results.
