Why is patching CMake easier than fixing your project? And how long are you going to let your own project's install tree be broken before you do fix it? I don't like the idea of a half-installed (or any fraction less than 1.0) bit of software... Perhaps others will chime in and we can get a sense of how folks weigh in on this issue. I will consider any patch that is offered for consideration... but I'll be honest: I'd never use this feature myself.
