We have currently an ugly macro that searches for the PDB in all possible 
places (e.g. foo for NMake, foo/Release, foo/Debug, foo/RelWithDebInfo, and 
foo/MinSizeRel for MSVC) and installs them. To make a long story short: this 
sucks.

When someone adds this please keep in mind that gcc also has the possibility 
to strip the debugging symbols of an object to a different file. This should be 
taken care of here, too.

I propose an option to the install command, something like:

INSTALL(TARGET foo
  ARCHIVE lib
  RUNTIME bin
  LIBRARY lib
  DEBUG_SYMBOLS dbg
)
