Summary:                    Add more control over individual components in a
component-based configuration
Description: 
Hello

I'm in the following situation:
I use Jenkins to build software binaries for several platforms. Each platform is
built in a in separate job. I also need to produce the software documentation
which is common to all platforms, so I only need a single job to build it.

I would like to configure the binary packages as follows:
- the package name should include the platform name, e.g:
MyProject-1.0.0-Linux64-runtime.tar.gz
- the package includes the toplevel directory, such that uncompressing the
package gives a directory MyProject-1.0.0/...

And I would like to configure the documentation packages as follows:
- the package name should NOT include the platform name, e.g:
MyProject-1.0.0-doc-user.tar.gz
- the package does NOT include the toplevel directory, such that uncompressing
the package gives the destination directory as specified in the INSTALL(FILES
... DESTINATION /doc/user) command in the CMakeLists.txt

This is currently impossible with the current version of CPack. But it could be
possible if we could specify PACKAGE_FILE_NAME and INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY at
the component level, as explained below:

# List of components:
set(CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL ON)
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING "IGNORE")
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL runtime doc-user)

# Default settings:
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME ${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION})
set(CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY true)

# Per component settings:
set(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_DISPLAY_NAME "Application Runtime")
set(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME
${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME})

set(CPACK_COMPONENT_DOC-USER_DISPLAY_NAME "Application Documentation")
set(CPACK_COMPONENT_DOC-USER_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY OFF)


Thanks
