I think I've found an easier solution to run inside the source tree:
Just the the PATH variable to all the libdirs. So far I have only tried
this manually but I've finally managed to run capinfos (and get the
usage output :-)
If I find the time I'll add automatic PATH modification tomorrow evening,
the idea is something like:
check whether path has already been modified. if not:
set( ENV{PATH} $ENV{PATH} ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib <list> <of> <lib> <dirs> )

Feel free to beat me to it ;-)

Good night

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
