Orion,
I discussed this with Hez when implementing the cmake support for ocaml.
In my opinion a defaul build should have everything as a subdirectory of
the install tree prefix (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX). What if you are
installing on a system without root access? What if you are testing
different versions? This is what we do for all other languages.
For packaging you are right - using "ocaml -where" is the correct thing
to do, but this is an issue for the packager.
