But isn't it simpler to do something like:

install_files( ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/kasteroids/sprites/powerups FILES
png_name1.png
png_name2.png
png_name3.png
png_name4.png 
....)

And that's all.
And it works :).
I've already done this in kasteroids/sprites/ subdirectories for example.
Of course, if I had 200+ pngs that wouldn't be so pretty :).
And your way is more general.

OK, so I guess that stuff comes from some auto-convertion-tool :).
I'll remove it, thanks.

With best wishes,
Dmitry.
