[CMake] How not to copy a link

[Kevin Burge]

Thanks David.  These are external libraries built outside of CMake, 
without CMake, not imported via any of the import capabilities of cmake, 
and that need to be installed alongside my CMake built files.  I think 
I'm just going to do the install with the rename.  Requires me to be 
more explicit, but, it's not like it changes all that frequently.
