The cusp installation instructions _say_ to put it in /some/path/include.
That is reasonable, considering that the package consists of headers. Of
course the user could choose to put it somewhere else, but they can inflict
that hardship on themselves using --includedir=.

I don't see how the fact that cusp does not provide an install target
implies that --with-cusp-dir=$prefix has some meaning different from
"prefix" with other packages.

I don't care that MKL has a funny layout, there is still a reasonably
well-defined concept of what the prefix is.
