It is always nice to hear I was right ;-) We have built quite a bit of
logic into CMake to handle various platforms and architectures. I was
largely concerned about the disconnect between the distutils (and
friends) and the CMake understanding of the place you are installing
to.

I am traveling right now, but will happily take a look at the changes.
If you hit any bugs please let me know, I would like to try and get
any issues fixed up in CMake too.
