Nope, change the compiler flags so instead of -I/usr/include, have
something like -I/usr/include/CGAL. You can even take it one step
further have put a version number in the directory which lets you
install multiple versions of the headers side-by-side. cf GTK
installing into /usr/include/gtk-2.0

Dan.
