I think it would be great if the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX could
somehow tell the
MYTH_BINDINGS_INSTALL_ROOT what it needed so it could put the
site-packages/MythTV/ stuff in the right place which is ultimately in the
$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/bin directory somewhere.

At least it looks that way to me.
