If you use Makefile generator you may call

make package
or
make package_source
as well.

The file included in "package" are the one which are INSTALLed
with the INSTALL command.

It has been reported some problem with CPack if you
use "absolute" filename in your INSTALL command.

You may search the Mailing List archive for a discussion on the subject.
