[osg-submissions] [osg-users] INSTALL include pdb's

OSG uses versioning on its DLLs, so there is no osgViewer.dll, but 
osgXX-osgViewer.dll (where XX is an so version). Currently it's 
osg39-osgViewer.dll. And the executable is still osgViewer.exe.

Have you disabled options in order to remove the versioning? This is not 
recommended, because then you might be linking to a .lib for one version 
and at runtime using a DLL from a different version. This system is in 
place to remove that risk.

So if you want the INSTALL target to install .pdb files, I don't see a 
problem with that.
