[CMake] INSTALL(FILES ... ) and $(OutDir)

[David Cole]

Looks like your definition of GDCM_LIBRARY_DIR must include
"${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}". You can't use that in an install rule... rather use
"\${BUILD_TYPE}" (with an escaped dollar sign) like in the VTK install
rules...

BUILD_TYPE is defined in a cmake_install.cmake file to qualify which
configuration is being installed. (Look at the command line given to cpack
from a Visual Studio build to understand this...) Why the inconsistency
originally, I do not know, but changing it now would be backwards
incompatible if done the easy way. If you have a good suggestion for how to
make it more consistent in a backwards compatible way, I'm all ears.

HTH,
David
