Isn't this question independent from the subproject problem and doesn't 
it already arise for simple one-level projects with two products that 
depend on that same library?
I don't think that the lib should have the knowledge where it's going to 
be installed dependent on where it is used. IMO the install rules must 
belong to the product that's going to be installed.
