What I mean is: when I build cmake to install to /some/arbitrary/path via pkgsrc, I expect it to look for normal libraries in the same location. I would also prefer to keep the list of hard-coded directories down, but that conflicts with the idea of "work-out-of-the-box on insane platforms". For X11, pkgsrc knows where to look or which one to pick up. That can make a difference when you have both native headers and modular Xorg installed (think SunOS and other older Unix versions). In general, from the perspective of a package system / distributor, the less magic it has in this regard, the better. But as I said above, this conflicts with Joe User installing cmake by hand.
