Problem: cppfs cannot be installed to non-system directories in system-dir-install

[gabm]

We want to package cppfs (and others) but we cannot install it using system-dir-install into fakeroot due to auto-recognition of cppassist

Solution: add an optional override flag to do that

I'm curious, what are you using cppfs (and the other libs) for?

[gabm]

We want to use it as an alternative to boost::filesystem.. at first glance it seems it has what we need and wed get around the boost dependency for now ... the other projects are dependencies of cppfs.. we have no special interest in those atm...

[sbusch42]

I've just removed the dependencies to cpplocate, cppassist, and cppexpose, as they were minimal and I see the point of this library having as little dependencies as possible. Only the examples still need cppassist for the command line parser, but they can be turned off easily with OPTION_BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF. Hope this makes your deployment a little easier.
