[CMake] CPack and fixup_bundle

[Tyler]

It's a little obtuse but you need to use \${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} in that
first argument to fixup_bundle(). If you don't, ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} will
be evaluated at CMake-time and therefore point to your build-time install
directory. You want to delay evaluation of that variable until CPack time,
when it will evaluate to the install directory that CPack uses.

If it makes you feel any better, it took me and another developer quite a
while to figure this out in our own project :).

Take a look at the ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_install.cmake generated for
your project to see what I mean.
