The install prefix controls *where* cmake installs to. We already had the
prefix set and cmake picks up the requested install prefix correctly (both via
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable, as well as via --prefix option, doesn't
matter).

The problem rather is *what* cmake installs. For the QSampler Mac build cmake
does not install any file at all:

  + cmake --install build --prefix /home/persson/mac64/ --verbose
  -- Install configuration: "Release"

For the QSampler Windows build cmake only installs the translation files, but
not the most relevant file qsampler.exe:

  + cmake --install build --verbose
  -- Install configuration: "Release"
  -- Up-to-date: /home/persson/win32/share/qsampler/translations/qsampler_cs.qm
  -- Up-to-date: /home/persson/win32/share/qsampler/translations/qsampler_fr.qm
  -- Up-to-date: /home/persson/win32/share/qsampler/translations/qsampler_ru.qm

Like described in my previous email, cmake --install looks into the file
./build/install_manifest.txt to determine what to install. In case of the
Windows build that file only contains those 3 translation files, and in case
of the Mac build that file is completely empty.
