[CMake] CPack change file extension

[tonka3100 at gmail.com]

Hey Kristian,

Thx for your answer. Iv've already done this like in your solution. I have a seperated target which depends on my create zip target and use ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -e copy to copy the file to my target directory (so the solution is platform independent), and leaf the original zip in the binary directory.

Do you have any special reason why your rename target depends on PACKAGE, is this the target which cpack is using?
