[Bug 1665006] [NEW] Cannot force install rule to run last in a directory

[Rodney Dawes]

Public bug reported:

There is no way to ensure that an install() call will always be run
last, within the directory where it is added. There are certain features
in various toolkits and environments, that when installing new data
files to some locations, additional tools need to be run to update the
cache in those locations, when installing to the system from source.
However, current cmake appears to have no way to force an install rule
to be run last, within the install stage. This is particularly necessary
for the CODE|SCRIPT syntax of the install() command.
