[CMake] CPACK installation path configuration

Wed Jul 23 09:45:05 EDT 2008

Yuri,

Thanks for all your help.  This information is extremely helpful.  I've not
successfully made both pkg and rpm packages.

The little bits of code that you provided (i.e.
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT) are very helpful.

Thanks,
Hans
