Still present in wily!

This seems like such an easy thing to fix...

Title:
  There is no "make install" target in the Makefile generated by CMake

Status in gtest package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

   I understand that the "libgtest0" package
  (http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libgtest0), mainly containing the
  ligtest.a and libgtest_main.a files, is no longer available in Ubuntu
  12.04, as you mentioned in the changelog
  (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/g/gtest/gtest_1.6.0-1ubuntu4/changelog
  namely at 1.6.0-1ubuntu2) of the "libgtest-dev" package
  (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgtest-dev).

   I also understand that those librarues, namely libgtest and
  libgtest_main should be now built from the source, by the user. You
  install the sources in /usr/src/gtest/src and you also provide a
  CMakeLists.txt file into /usr/src/gtest

   However, please take into account the following:

   1. there is no specific guide about how to build the sources (cd /usr/src/gtest/src && cmake .. && make & cp libgtest*.* /usr/lib/)
   2. the above commands require admin rights (aka sudo), because the /usr/src is not writeable and the compiler cannot write its outputs therein
   3. there is no "make install" target in the (CMake-)generated Makefile, thus the need for the above manuale file copying
   4. the above commands are tedious to enter manually, after installing the package, so I suggest a script to be run during the installation and building and installing those libraries (if you insinst in not providing the libgtest0 package no more)
   5. making cmake package a dependency for the libgtest-dev/gtest package is overkill and, also, could disturb the average user

  Thank you.
