While I agree that our installers should not install to /usr but to
/usr/local instead (which I think was what Enrico suggests and what CMake
GNU default is), I don't want to have to provide multiple installers.
Anyone who needs an installer for /opt can always build with
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/oorexx or such.

 juggling several rexx installations: how is it done on the Windows
> platform?

I have set up a bunch of aliases (set with doskey /macrofile=doskey.mac in
a profile.bat which runs when starting a Command Prompt) like rexx4 or
rexx5r or rexx532d pointing to various rexx.exe builds, and a bat file
rexx5rev.bat which allows me to run rexx.exe from a choice of saved build
revisions.
No additional setup is required, these build (or saved) paths don't have to
be in PATH .. when searching for its associated files, the interpreter will
look first in the same directory as the executable.
