Look at "cmInstallTargetGenerator::AddChrpathPatchRule".  Its job is
to generate the install-time script to fix up the RPATH in the installed
binary.  The default is *no* RPATH, unless the INSTALL_RPATH target
property is set:

  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:INSTALL_RPATH

Elsewhere in this thread (at least on the kde list) you mention this
seems to be working for some targets and not others.  Look for where
the INSTALL_RPATH gets set on the targets where it is working.

This has nothing to do with RPATH_REMOVE or RPATH_CHANGE calls during
installation.  The only time this code would be used with install-tree
information is during the "relink" step used on non-ELF platforms used
to build a new RPATH into the binaries for installation.

No, this is intentional behavior.  CMake sets the RPATH up in the build
tree to help the binary find its dependencies at runtime.  If it does
not link to anything in <prefix>/lib then there will be no RPATH entry
for it.

As I said above it won't affect the install tree.  See the INSTALL_RPATH
target property.
