[CMake] CPack and alternative install locations

[Iman Brouwer]

I was also struggling to get cpack to install anywhere else but in /usr when
creating a DEB package. The following worked for me:

set( CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /usr/local/or/where/ever/i/want )
set(CPACK_SET_DESTDIR TRUE)
include( CPack )

Iman

P.S. Make sure you have 'include( CPack )' after you set the variables.
