One remark about CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL, it seems to be taken into
at CMake time
and not at CPack time?

i.e.

cpack -D CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1 NSIS

does not work whereas

cmake -DCPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1
+
cpack NSIS

is OK.

is it supposed to work at CMake time only ?

if this is the case my initial idea was to be able to chose at CPack time.
