You seem to have decided to go against the recommendations of the CMake 
community.

Now you're forcing people who use CMake to maintain their list of installed 
files in two places (the install commands in their CMakeLists, and now this 
new deplyment file).

This also assumes that all install files are constant (not differing based 
on debug/release or any other criteria). That is just not the case.

This is needlessly and deliberately crippling the user experience with 
CMake.

You should reconsider. 

You should install to a temporary directory instead and you should grep for 
'Installing' to determine what files should be copied to the device.

Thanks,

Steve.
