To Andrew and Orion:

One of my testers for ephcom is David Howells who works as a developer
for RedHat.  He found that rpm's for ephcom that he implemented could
not be built without using DESTDIR for all install(CODE logic in the
ephcom build system.  For example ephcom's doc/CMakeLists.txt file now
has this code fragment (which was originally copied without DESTDIR
from doc/CMakeLists.txt in PLplot).

doc/CMakeLists.txt:  install(CODE "message(STATUS \"Installing:
${DOC_DIR}/doxygen/html tree\")\nexecute_process(COMMAND
${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/doxygen/html
${DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR}/doxygen/html)")

Do you agree that DESTDIR should also be used in the equivalent PLplot
file?  How have you guys been getting around this potential issue
for Debian and Fedora packaging of PLplot?
