To get this lib using wget this url is required 
"http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/oyranos/libXcm/libXcm-0.2.x/libXcm.0.2.x.tar.gz"

If one specifies a --libdir, /usr/X11/lib for example, no pkgconfig 
entry gets installed.
Not specifying a libdir it gets installed in /usr/X11/lib64/pkgconfig.
On a 64 Bit only system no /usr/X11/lib64/ exists.

Can you please split install in make install and make install-docs, so
people like I, not having doxygen installed, can install the lib without
getting an error of make install.

Is this lib meant to get part of Xorg in future?
