[CMake] [PATCH] FreeBSD Lua5.x default install path

[E. Wing]

Sorry, I've been a bit buried recently and I know there are some other
Lua patches pending. But I think this is reasonable to add if FreeBSD
is really going to do this. I doubt the addition will break anything
for other platforms.

But since 7.1 is still beta, do you have it in authority that this is
what FreeBSD is going to settle on? No sense adding it if they are
going to change their minds.

As for the duplication list, it was originally because many of these
paths were not included by CMake or they were not consistent among
different platforms. I think this has been fixed, but I haven't
verified it so I haven't removed it in case it breaks somebody.

It later got into kind of a documentation/tutorial thing where (new)
people started looking at that to get a sense of understanding/comfort
at what was going on, especially when their files were not found for a
reason they didn't understand. Maybe it wasn't the most appropriate
use of the field, but that's what happened.


Thanks,
Eric
