- linker flags missing on OS X: -Wl,-undefined suppress
-Wl,-flat_namespace; maybe others
- data directory should be detected automatically, depending on system arch
- linking on Win32 fails with undefined references ... need to dig in
further, but it might be the case that for a dll, all symbols must be
available when the dll is created. That's not an issue of cmake
though, didn't work with autotools either. Maybe, there's a linker
flag like on OS X to get it working, otherwise some changes to the
order of compilation and libs linked have to be made.

I'll see whether I can fix the OS X and Windows issues, but I try to
not touch general stuff like version checking or properly installing
and naming stuff.
