I'll need to double check, I believe this functionality is in there I just need to make public record of how to use cmake's version of --prefix.

Here is what I found so far.

You can override what we call --prefix in autotools by doing the following.

$ cd Vanilla/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:STRING=/tmp

Seems kind of ugly. There is a helper tool called ccmake, here's how you use it.

$ cd Vanilla/build
$ ccmake .

It's curses based. Screenshot attached.

You can change the install prefix by adding -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/installation/path to the CMake command (default is /usr/local). Seems to work as well.
