.. versionadded:: 3.14

:command:install(CODE) and :command:install(SCRIPT) support generator expressions.

In CMake 3.13 and earlier, :command:install(CODE) and :command:install(SCRIPT) did not evaluate generator expressions. CMake 3.14 and later will evaluate generator expressions for :command:install(CODE) and :command:install(SCRIPT).

The OLD behavior of this policy is for :command:install(CODE) and :command:install(SCRIPT) to not evaluate generator expressions. The NEW behavior is to evaluate generator expressions for :command:install(CODE) and :command:install(SCRIPT).

Note that it is the value of this policy setting at the end of the directory scope that is important, not its setting at the time of the call to :command:install(CODE) or :command:install(SCRIPT). This has implications for calling these commands from places that have their own policy scope but not their own directory scope (e.g. from files brought in via :command:include() rather than :command:add_subdirectory()).
