Installers on MacOS generally allow the choice of installation
location, right?  If they don't, I find that totally bizarre.  In any
event, if CMake uses an installer and doesn't allow a choice of where
to install, that's totally bizarre.

If checkboxes to set / not set the path are too complicated, then the
installer can issue a warning message that the user needs to set the
path manually.
