Yes, that makes sense. The keys could each be either a relative path (to the install prefix) or an absolute path. We would not need any new commands. The set_property and get_property command could learn a new type for this.

The reason cmake_install.cmake is sprinkled in each directory is so the makefile generators can support "cd subdir; make install". I do not think we support this with CPack so a single file at the top makes sense. I think the name should start in "CPack" but otherwise have no preference currently.
