From Alan Dickinson, "I modified the CPack and CMake files to utilze the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when building RPM packages.

I also modified the CMake and pkgconfig files to append the _POSTFIX extenstion based on the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

Additionally I fixed packaging/ld.so.conf.d/openscenegraph.conf.in to add a '/' betweeen the arguments since the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX can't end with a '/'.
