Its totally backwards compatible. The code looks for INSTALL or COMPILE, and
if they exist follows the new behavior, otherwise it reverts to the old.

One issue is that POST_BUILD and POST_INSTALL are now both run after
INSTALL (which is the last half of BUILD). This presents a slight
inconsistancy, as POST_INSTALL now runs after POST_BUILD rather than
immediatly after INSTALL like one would thing. So a global renaming
of all the POST_BUILD/POST_INSTALL files might be in order. But theres
certainly no reason to not allow that file to still work during a
transition period (just as with BUILD). Does that make sense?

What should POST_BUILD be renamed to? Or should we leave it with its
contradictory name?
