[CMake] installing in /etc

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Rahhhh nevermind, I just found the solution. Use relative path:

    ADD_EXECUTABLE(gdcmreadahead gdcmreadahead.c)
    INSTALL(TARGETS gdcmreadahead
      DESTINATION usr/sbin
    )
    # package its twin init.d script also:
    INSTALL(PROGRAMS gdcmreadahead
      DESTINATION etc/init.d/
    )

set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/ so that make install still works and
debian package requires still one more trick:

SET(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX "/")

otherwise CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX default to /usr
