Summary0014461: No way to specify destination directory of share/aclocal.m4
DescriptionMy distribution uses a prefix of /usr/${arch}/ for architecture dependent executables, libraries, and headers, and /usr/share/ remains for architecture independent files. This is mostly fine because I can pass --datadir=../share/cmake --docdir=../share/doc/cmake-${version}/ --mandir=../share/man to ./bootstrap and things get installed to the right places.

The exception is share/aclocal/cmake.m4. After looking at Utilities/CMakeFiles.txt, it seems that this file is being installed to ${prefix}/share/aclocal/, when I want it to be installed to ${prefix}/../share/aclocal/ (e.g. /usr/share/aclocal/). However, there doesn't appear to be an option I can use to get this behavior.

I'm not sure the best way to solve this issue (apart from adding a new directory option, --aclocaldir or something), but for now I can patch Utilities/CMakeFiles.txt to install cmake.m4 to ${CMAKE_DATA_DIR}/../aclocal/.
