[oi-dev] 1341 Upgrade cmake to the latest version - bitbucket changeset: Commit dcc62cd7b504 - Please review

[Andrew M. Hettinger]

It was removed because there should be nothing in there. The documentation
EXPLICITLY says that. This document also explicitly lists where additions
should go (in /opt). This is not exactly a new standard.

That said, why would you look for something in /usr/local? If we are just
going to willy-nilly be adding directories, we should just have it search
the entire filesystem, it's the only way be sure.

If there is a desire to change from Solaris standards to the Linux Standard
Base, so be it, but if we are going down that route, I'd like to see it
explicitly made clear.
