Are my wheels supposed to contain these include, lib, and share folder?

I think these may be coming from a separate library i have a dependency on that also uses CMake

In my case I have a CMake dependency (GEOS in my case) that installs headers and libraries and I have similar folders. If you don't want them, figure out how to convince the dependent library to not install its "thing" when pulled in in CMake. How to do that depends on the library causing this issue

it looks like i was able to prevent the installation if the include / lib stuff using
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64900981/how-do-you-prevent-cmake-from-install-ing-targets-from-within-projects-include

which meant adding the exlude from all option to add_subdirectory

add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ext/SOEM EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

That's a useful trick, I'll use it in my application as well
