What's INSTALL(SCRIPT...)? It's not on http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html

I tried something like this:
if (UNIX)
   # write a cmake script file which creates the symlink
   file(WRITE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/make_icontheme_symlink.cmake "exec_program(${CMAKE_COMMAND} ARGS -E create_symlink crystalsvg ${ICON_INSTALL_DIR}/default.kde\n")
   # and add it as post-install script to any of the installed targets, so it will be executed during "make install"
   set_target_properties(xxxx PROPERTIES POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/make_icontheme_symlink.cmake)
endif (UNIX)

But I have nothing to put in "xxxx", there are no targets in those directories that only install icons, or do I miss something?
