[Gmsh] gmsh 2.12.0 : gmshpy : installation directory

[ROZAR Fabien]

I can use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to copy the things wherever
I want, but it doesn't fix my issue, because I don't want to finish
the installation step with everything copied in :
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages'

For example, I don't want to have 'bin/gmsh' there.

I solve the installation of 'gmshpy' manually (sudo cp ...). I am just
looking for a way to do it from the installation step.

To solve my issue, either :
  - the '/usr/local/gmshpy/setup.py' works
  - a cmake variable is introduced to specify the installation directory
    for 'gmshpy'

Let me know if I'm wrong or if there is a patch in a next release
regarding that.

Best regards
