This is part of a lot of complex logic to integrate ANT into CMake as transparently as possible to assist in integrating Android support (building Java and APK). So I do not use INSTALL targets. This is an implementation detail since the libs are required in a specific directory so that ANT can package them into the APK for distribution to Android devices.
