Nope. It ends installing too much files (*.td files, for instance)

If it affected Mac OS X users, I would implement a workaround, but after
almost two years of existence of the CMake build you are the only one
reporting this problem. So you'll better follow the path hinted by Pau
Garcia i Quiles and check if there is a problem specific of your
setup. A good way of doing that is to open a bug report on the CMake
project.

You are reading the documentation incorrectly. FILES_MATCHING is
required for installing the files matching the patterns, and only
those. As said on my previous message, if you remove FILES_MATCHING the
PATTERNs are useless unless followed by some other clause, like EXCLUDE.
