Alternative symlink-creating mode for file(INSTALL ...)
An new environment variable 'CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE' is introduced, which can be used to ask CMake to create symbolic links instead of copying files during a file(INSTALL ...). The operation is at the file level only, directory trees are still created using actual directories, not links. Signed-off-by: Felix Lelchuk <felix.lelchuk@gmx.de>
