If you use cmake 2.8.5, you can use GNUInstalldirs.cmake and let the user

You mean having the user adjust the lib install dir correctly manually ?
Hmm, I think it is not realistic to expect that users will know about that.
There must be a way to do this so that it is works automatically, at least so
that a cmake on the same system will find what was installed.
See discussion here on why we can't transform the install() DESTINATION
options magically:
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=11964#c25884
The conclusion was that user code that intends to support such cases
must reference a variable in its install destinations. The
GNUInstallDirs module provides a good variable to reference:
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake;hb=v2.8.5#l71
install(... DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/cmake/Foo)
However, as noted in the comments it still needs to be taught about
multiarch. Even though that it doesn't do it in CMake 2.8.5 the variable
is a cache entry so packagers can fix it at build time.
The find_package command in CMake 2.8.5 is multiarch-aware and will
search the right place under each installation prefix.
