Hi,

When packaging [Plus toolkit](https://github.com/PlusToolkit/PlusApp) on my side, I realized a possible issue  
with the component naming of hdf5 installed target.

When packaging the project, the package missed the hdf5 dlls.

Here is the CPack script relevant line:

`CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "...;C:/JWS/cipluswin/arch/x86/bt/rel/x86rel/itk-bin;ITK;RuntimeLibraries;/;...)`

After exploring the ThirdParty directory of ITK, I realized that most modules install their libs under the component name `RuntimeLibraries`. Ex:

```auto
  INSTALL(TARGETS itklbfgs
  EXPORT ${ITK3P_INSTALL_EXPORT_NAME}
  RUNTIME DESTINATION ${ITK3P_INSTALL_RUNTIME_DIR} COMPONENT RuntimeLibraries
  LIBRARY DESTINATION ${ITK3P_INSTALL_LIBRARY_DIR} COMPONENT RuntimeLibraries
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${ITK3P_INSTALL_ARCHIVE_DIR} COMPONENT Development)

```

But the HDF5 module component names are `libraries` and `cpplibraries`. Indeed, adding these components to the the CPack line solves this issue:

`set(CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "...;C:/JWS/cipluswin/arch/x86/bt/rel/x86rel/itk-bin;ITK;cpplibraries;C:/JWS/cipluswin/arch/x86/bt/rel/x86rel/itk-bin;ITK;libraries;C:/JWS/cipluswin/arch/x86/bt/rel/x86rel/itk-bin;ITK;RuntimeLibraries;/;...)`

But it’s a little bit counter-intuitive. Do I have a usage problem or is there a kind of heterogenous handling of component names in ITK third party modules?

**Details** :

- Windows 10
- ITK: 5.2.0
- CMake: 3.22.0
- Visual studio 2017

Thanks for your help,

@cg2 indeed, this consistency of handling third party libraries is helpful.

Patches are welcome to improve the vendored HDF5 install components. Please work from ITK Git `master`, because many updates were made recently to HDF5.
