CMake's documentation states about INSTALL()'s CONFIGURATIONS
argument: "The CONFIGURATIONS argument specifies a *list* of
build configurations for which the install rule applies
(Debug, Release, etc.)."

Are you sure that the CONFIGURATIONS clause is available for the
INSTALL(CODE ...) command? It's not specified, and on *nix, the
following CMakeLists.txt issues the message upon "make install"
regardless of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable's value whereas the
INSTALL(FILES ...) command is sensitive as expected:

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
PROJECT(INSTCONF NONE)
SET(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
INSTALL(CODE "MESSAGE(\"Installing\")" CONFIGURATIONS Release)
INSTALL(FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeLists.txt
        DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake
        CONFIGURATIONS Release)

Does it work differently on Windows?
