[CMake] Recommended style for multiple CPack generator folder structures

[clinton at elemtech.com]

I prefer one for both installing and creating packages.


install(TARGETS bar
   COMPONENT bar
   DESTINATION "./" # This must be "./" not "/" as it has to be a relative path
)

Then set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Applications/Foo when you do an install.
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH will be pre-pended to relative paths given in install() commands.
