So I wondered if we were basically getting 3 modes out of this:

1. put multiple components in one components aware package (nsis, packagemaker,...).
2. put multiple components in one non-component aware package (tar.gz, .zip...).
3. put multiple components in multiple packages (all cpack generators).

And how does one choose the behavior they want?
