There is another program shipped with CMake called CPack.
It is possible to create tarballs with it. I don't know exactly how it works,
but I'll find it out in the next days. ;)

make DESTIR=/foobar is already supported by CMake.
(DESTDIR is prepended to install-prefix at installation)

At the moment there are just options for selecting a prefix and a build-type 
(e.g. Release, Debug)
I'll add some options for further selecting data-, font-, bin-path.
