You mean writing:
install(FILES
   archive/archive.h
   FULLPATH
   DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}/gluon/player/lib
   COMPONENT Devel)

instead of:

install(FILES
   archive/archive.h
   DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}/gluon/player/lib/archive
   COMPONENT Devel)

Honestly I do not see any benefit in this, but may be I did not
understand what you meant?

It would be interesting if the file list was coming from file(GLOB ...)
but it has already been discussed here that it's usually a bad idea to
use globbing,
because you may miss appearing or disappearing files.
