[Cmake] Bug reports?

[William Gropp]

I could not find a way to submit a bug report at www.cmake.org , so I'm 
trying this address.  Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place.

1) There should be a clear way to submit bug reports described on the web 
pages.  The FAQ should have a "bug" entry.

2) The cmake configure accepts standard autoconf command line arguments but 
then silently ignores them.  For example, I tried

     ./configure --prefix=/home/me/mylocal/cmake
     make
     make install

and had cmake install into /usr/local !

The best fix would be to change cmake to follow standard installation 
practice, allowing the user to set prefix, execprefix, mandir, etc.  The 
fall-back fix is to use AC_MSG_ERROR to let the user know that those 
options are not supported, testing for any change from the defaults.  An 
alternative would be to avoid using configure altogether until cmake can 
accept the standard directory arguments that configure (and everyone that 
uses a configure-enabled program) expects.
