How to tell maim build where to find slop? #166

I built maim and slop from source, but I had to do a bit of a hack to get it to work.

I didn't want to install slop into my main system, so I installed it to prefix /opt/maim.

But then when I went to build maim I couldn't figure out how to tell cmake where to find slop. Ultimately what I did was to just edit maim's CMakeLists file, adding in /opt/maim/include to target_link_libraries, and /opt/maim/lib/libslopy.so.7.4 /opt/maim/lib/libslopy.so to target_link_libraries.

Please provide for or document a way to tell the maim build where to find slop.

I would love to know! I'm pretty sure CMake lets you just manually specify the slop library in the graphical UI.

I'm not very good with CMake so I thought that was normal.
