[CMake] CPack issue with long path names being misplaced in TGZ file

[Marcus Bartholomeu]

I'm VERY sorry to bug you guys!

I just realized that this is an issue with the midnight commander. It is
not reading inside tarballs correctly. But CPack is creating the tarball
correctly.

Sorry again,
Marcus
