Today I am building Insight under Linux for the first time in over a 
month, and I'm building it from scratch since CMake and Insight have 
evolved enough to make that sensible.  When I ran ccmake, 
FLTK_FORMS_LIBRARY and FLTK_GL_LIBRARY were "NOTFOUND".  It was easy 
enough to insert the entries manually, but I thought they should have 
been found.

The version of CMake I was using was the tarball 
CMake1.4.3-x86-linux-static.tar.gz, which I just installed.  I mentioned 
this before, but I really do think it'd be a good idea to put a note in 
the README, and on the "Install" web page, that the typical place to 
untar the file is into /usr/local.  A user who is installing a 
precompiled binary is someone who wants to make as few decisions as 
possible.

I realize that it will work fine from any directory, but that assumes 
that users' paths are set correctly and so forth.  The point is that 
some people just want to put it the same place everyone else is putting 
it, and we should let them know where that is.
