I would like to add that this should REALLY be the DEFAULT behavior, because
if it is not when you build your package you may end-up EFFECTIVELY
installing part of your package when only building it.

At least when requiring cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6).

I personnally would break backward compat' on this.

I wasn't able to add comment or attach file on the
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=4993

because (may be) the bug is closed.
