    install: Add EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option (#14921) · 18ce97c4
    Nick Lewis authored and Brad King's avatar Brad King committed
    Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
    that need to be installed into a dedicated test package.  The user
    expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
    following:
    
        make
        make tests
        make install
        DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests
    
    However this results in test components in the default installation as
    well as the testpkg.
    
    Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
    the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
    explicitly specified for installation.
