With the out-of-the-box cmake command 'ExternalProject_Add' the libs
are in /user/local/lib/phthon2.7/... after building and implicit
installing (without sudo). This way it is possible to call cmake
without sudo, build without sudo, and then install with sudo our
.py files into /usr/lib/python.

So, is this an option for the INSTALL file:

"With CMake: will download, build, and install the right versions
of numpy and scipy if they are not on your system:

     - 'cmake ../kst/cmake -Dkst_python=1'
     - make
     - sudo make install"
