but when I try to build the RPM, it wants to write to /usr (ah, shouldn't

CPack RPM shouldn't try to write to /usr unless there is
some abolsute installed path _and_ you are not setting
SET(CPACK_SET_DESTDIR "ON")

D'oh :-). For some reason I was thinking it shouldn't matter. Don't know
why, I should know better :-). Sorry.
Ok, that's better... except for the gratuitous violations of Fedora
packaging convention. I suspect it won't be possible to use cpack to
make Fedora RPM's, at least not without a lot of surgery (for one,
Fedora needs an SRPM, RPM and -devel RPM, also no RPATH allowed, and no
RPM's containing common directories, e.g. /usr, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc.)
Anyway, thanks for the help! I now have a highly non-canon, but
installable, rpm that satisfies koffice's check, at least on i*86 (llvm
is broken on x86_64). Next step is making a proper rpm for Fedora, but I
suspect that won't involve cpack (should be interesting getting cmake to
play with Fedora's RPM building :-) ).
