@Wayne, what do you mean by forging GNUInstallDirs? We already sue
GNUInstallDirs for some parts of our cmakelists, sepcifically for the
libdir thing. I am not sure if we do in other locations.

Using GNUInstallDir variables let the user / packager be able to override
some install paths instead of using the hardcoded values.

@Simon, does MAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR work for gnu stow? If so, I guess it is
safer to use that variable, as we do elsewhere.
