Alan,
Plplot does something slightly different in that it uses a more
complicated method for globbing file names to install. The Debian
packages do nothing special except calling "make DESTDIR=$(debtmp) install"
(see debian/rules) and this all just works. I suspect the reason is that
the globbing is done at install time and so DESTDIR is correctly prepended
automatically to the CMAKE_INSTALL_* variables. This is just a theory and
I haven't tested it, but I would suggest it would be wise to try before
altering plplot.
