It doesn't seem to work. CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX during CPack/RPM time is
apparently being set to CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX, ie a directory
that doesn't exist since it's just for the resulting RPM. (Unless
CPack is running inside a chroot of it's own making at that point??)


So with something like this in the strip-all-installed-files.cmake
script being executed via install(SCRIPT...):
execute_process(COMMAND ls ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} OUTPUT_VARIABLE lsresults)

I get an error that the directory doesn't exist.
