[Insight-developers] CMake Linux binary instructions

Can I suggest that the installation instructions for the Linux binaries 
be made a little more explicit?  Looking at the Readme now, I take it 
that simply going to /usr and doing tar -xzvf will do the right thing. 
However, when I first tried to do it, it was unclear to me what a good 
candidate was for the destination directory.

Better yet would be an automated installation process.  It is ironic 
that building and installing from source (which is what I ended up 
doing) requires less specialized knowledge than installing the 
precompiled binaries.  Unsophisticated users such as myself are likely 
to try the precompiled binaries first.
