Well, steven's version looks fine:
     install(TARGETS <target-name>
         LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
         ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
         RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

But from your patches I guess that it doesn't work for you this way.

There's also a cmake option to force a prefix for libs ( 
set_target_propery(<target> PREFIX "") ), you might want to try that first. 
(the "libqyoto-.." approach shouldn't break anything, but it looks not so nice 
on windows).

There's no way (that I know of) to put assemblies into the Windows gac in a 
proper way (mono's gacutil is different from .NET's one), so currently there's 
only support for Mono's gactutil.
The problem here is the "-root" option. When I just type "make", I don't 
expect the buildsystem to install anything yet. Only on "make install" stuff 
should be installed. So on Mono, we simply pass the -root option to gacutil, 
to create a gac "subtree" in the build dir, which is simply copied to the real 
gac on "make install".

However, the windows gacutil has no -root option. You could probably hack 
something up with "install(SCRIPT <some cmake script here>)" with an 
automatically generated script which calls gacutil - but that will soon get 
messy.
