No, its also usable on the commandline with a make install
CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT=Devel. This could in theory be used to make it
easier to generate binary packages in distro scripts, since there don't
need to be any manual selection of files/folders to fetch only parts of
a full install tree for the -devel package.
For all people just doing a make install it does not matter anyway.
Do you have a problem with the COMPONENT being used?
