It turns out it's largely Python based and looks for the Mod directory
relative to the binary directory.

I talked to one of the developers and he said it would be better to go
ahead and put everything in /usr/lib{,64}/freecad and symlink the
binaries to /usr/bin. It makes my system install option pretty much
useless since you can set the install location by overriding
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, but I still have to setup the proper rpath's so
everything can find everything else...

Thanks,
