Commits on May 25, 2017

  1. Use GNUInstallDirs for specifying default directories 

    * Being able to change the default directories is important
  for distros. Even more so with a consistent interface.
  GNUInstallDirs is the only Kitware supported way to change
  the defaults without downstream consumers of CMake
  making up new and inconsistent options between each other.

  2. Do not install README files in DATADIR 

    * It is customary not to install README files in data
  directories but rather in DOCDIR.

  3. Do not hardcode C++98 

    * Different distros have compiled boost with different
  -std= options. Hardcoding this only wreaks massive
  havoc with parts of the ecosystem already using C++11.
