Is it suppose to be a good one?

First, the 2 files that are installed under 'bin' are installed without executable permissions.

Secondly, consider the OUT-OF-SOURCE BUILDS section of the INSTALL file:

mkdir $CGAL_BIN
cd $CGAL_BIN
cmake [options] $CGAL_SRC
make
make install (if desired)
make demo (if desired)
make examples (if desired)

The name $CGAL_BIN is a bit misleading. How about $CGAL_BUILD (or $CGAL_TRG).

Finally, I cannot figure out how to compile an application that uses CGAL with the help of 'cgal_create_cmake_script'. Am I suppose to set environment variables that indicate where CGAL libraries, headers, and cmake related stuff are installed at? If I don't specify anything (and I wouldn't know what to specify just from reading the INSTALL file), run the script above, and then 'cmake .', I get:

-- This program requires the CGAL library, and will not be compiled (even though CGAL is installed at the default directory - /usr/local/{lib,include,bin}/...

What gives?
