[CMake] How can I unzip a file?

[David Cole]

This is incorrect.
CPack only delegates to another installed tool to generate ZIP files. It
does not know how to write ZIP files itself. The same is true for most CPack
-G generators: it orchestrates calling an external tool to generate the
actual package created.


Mathieu, the original question was about extracting info from a .zip file,
not creating a .zip file....
