    Description

      Split out of QTBUG-95024, which is about providing a lower level CMake API than that discussed here.

      To make installation simpler for user projects, we want to provide a higher level CMake API that allows installation (and in the case of macOS app bundles, post-build rules to allow running apps from the build tree) of Qt libraries, plugins and QML modules (at least the qmldir files and the plugins). The higher level API should be reasonably easy for less experienced users to employ and adapt in their project based on canonical examples for common cases.
