Yes, there is but it's not currently passed to cmake. libdir was passed 
because of lib vs lib64 issue and problems related to it in the past.

I could set includedir too but probably there is some other xxxdir that I'm 
not overriding and the whole problem will appear again, right? (unless there 
is some way to ensure that all required dirs were set at cmdline time).
