Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been without net access.

Thanks mate, I had a similar conclusion, but at this stage it's not
feasible to change the code just yet (new beta release soonish).

At this stage I'll concentrate on getting *NIX and OSX going.

When we used autotools, I used to pass the following options to the
autotools to control binary locations etc:

## Set the configure options here. Attempt to comply with debian policy.
CONFIG_OPTIONS= --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=
$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --prefix=/usr \
                --bindir=/usr/games --libdir=/usr/lib/deng \
                --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
                --with-datadir-name=deng --datadir=/usr/share/games

I understand I can use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr to emulate the
--prefix=/usr but how would I emulate the other flags ?
