Yep, I agree, (./) should be the default install lib for win32.

Setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to current directory (.) does not limit use of

One may still set and use LIB, INCLUDE, PATH variables as needed.
But I agree that Cmake could adopt better OpenSceneGraph and OpenThread
installation directory defaults than drive:\Program Files\ .
