Well we're (Fedora) is patching the cmake file to build shared
libraries. Also, Fedora/Redhat/(and openSUSE I think) handle multilib
with /lib and /lib64 as separate directories unlike Debian/Ubuntu that
dumps everything in /lib and symlinks to /lib64.

As long as it's pretty easy to override with cmake options or patch
it's not a big deal.

Since we're manually installing everything we decided to go with just
/usr/include/<collada lib name> without putting everything under an
"opencollada" parent subdirectory.

Also we do build UTF libftoa libBuffer statically into their parent
library since their names are far to generic to dump into /usr/lib.
