Hmm, you're right, I just tested and it seems the INSTALL_DIR is
ignored or not handled properly, I'm not sure why. But if you use the
CMAKE_ARGS option to manually set
"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/Fusion/qhull-2015.2" it works, so at
least there's an easy workaround. Maybe someone else knows how the
INSTALL_DIR option is meant to be used?
