[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just committed a fix for this in r5585.  You can now specify the
install path by defining -DDEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH=/default/install/path
when running CMake.  If you do not define DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH, it will
be set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.  When building and installing from
source, do not define DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH unless you have a specific
reason for doing so.  If you are building packages where
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is a path other than the final install destination,
then you should define DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH accordingly.  OSX bundle
builders will need to set DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Application
Support/kicad to maintain the previous behavior (Sorry Adam).  This was
done to simplify the default path configuration code in both the CMake
and source files.  Just to reiterate, this will not solve the problem
when the user changes the default install path in windows.
