Let me know what you mean by "standard" cmake macros just so I'm sure
I know what you're talking about. By default you can use relative
paths for DESTINATION which are relative to CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, right?

In that case all the absolute paths I'm setting are more or less useless...

As far as the name and default, I thought about it and already changed
the option name to FREECAD_SYSTEM_INSTALL defaulted to OFF. I'll ask
if it can be defaulted to ON but as long as I have a switch to flip,
I'm happy.

I may also add an option, something like NO_BUNDLED_APPS and default
to OFF. That way I can stop using bundled libs without patches. Or add
individual options for each bundled app... I'll still "rm -rf" them in
%prep though.

Thanks,
Richard
