[CMake] cpack generator variable

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Tiago.

If you happen to know the directory for each configuration at CMake
configure time, you could do this:

install(DIRECTORY path/to/Debug/dir
  DESTINATION bin
  CONFIGURATIONS Debug
  COMPONENT files
)

install(DIRECTORY path/to/Release/dir
  DESTINATION bin
  CONFIGURATIONS Release
  COMPONENT files
)

# ...etc
