Hi,

Looking at poppler 0.60.1, I saw that it removes the autotools build system,
and it looks like the cmake build system hardcodes libdir to
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX}

Unfortunately that's not good in all situations. E.g. in Debian we have
multiarch directories, so libraries go in /usr/lib/<triplet>/. I could do that
with autotools by setting --libdir (which our tooling does automatically) but I
can't do it anymore in the cmake build system.

I hear there's a GNUInstallDirs cmake thing that sets some stuff, e.g.
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR. Would it be possible to use that so that the libdir can
be controlled?
