There is actually one single use-case where it might be useful to change this variable once:
Say you have a library libFoo installed in /path/to/libfoo. Now you like to have an add-on library.
You might want to normally install this library to the same location where the base library is.
The CMake file here can set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /path/to/libfoo _once_.
(I actually hope that there will never be a real libFoo in the world... I like to use the name in my mails)
