I'm pretty opposed to getting rid of SYSINSTALL_BINDINGS though not only

avoid spurious bug reports, but also because it is the only foolproof way
we have to get someone up and running quickly that isn't highly dependent
on their system configuration. The install instructions are pretty much
just:

    cmake SYSINSTALL_BINDINGS=ON
    make
    sudo make install


Can SYSINSTALL_BINDINGS=ON not be automatically inferred if no
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is specified? Or does CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX always have
a value, even if not set explicitly?


That would overwrite OS-reserved file locations.

That's what make install (without an explicit prefix) always does, isn't it?

If I don't specify a prefix, I expect things to be installed into the system wide default locations for whatever it is. If I specify a prefix, I expect to to be relative to that and expect to have to set various path variables to locate 'my' install.

It's very important that
the SYSINSTALL_BINDINGS behavior be opt in.
