Yes. As mentioned, the strange thing is that it works when I open the
solution of the sub-project in VS and invoke the INSTALL target
directly. Also, a small example project I set up to debug this issue
builds just fine. So far it seems that the way ExternalProject invokes
the INSTALL target causes the fixup_bundle call to fail, but debugging
this is a PITA and I haven't had the time so far...

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

At least not the answer I was _hoping_ for ;-)

Enjoy the holidays!
