I've using cmake to build an autoconf portion of the project using
ExternalProject_Add.  I tried using the autoconf prefix, but was having
issues with the libtool and absolute paths.  I found DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
in the docs, which seems to avoid the libtool problem, but I'm getting
errors saying I don't have permissions writing files to /usr/local/include.
 Why would it be trying to write files there?

Making install in api
 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/include'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644
