[CMake] can I install subdirs matching a REGEX ?

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Martin,

if you only want to install files which match something, you need to add
FILES_MATCHING to the insall() command (before the first pattern/regex),
like this:

install(DIRECTORY start/ DESTINATION images FILES_MATCHING REGEX
.*/\\.Images/.*)

(I've also added backslashes, since you probably want to match a literal
period in ".Images")
