BundleUtilities in CMake CVS works on Unix and Windows too. That's how I package Qt with my apps. You could copy the script and use it with your CMake 2.6 if you want.
In the past, I've used a glob to get the .so.* files and tar to copy them.

This sucks because it pulls in extra files (the .la > and .prl and .debug files in my ls output above).
