Summary0008766: CPack ZIP generator's external zip program location and args should be configurable
DescriptionFirst, it's not well documented that the ZIP generator relies on an external zip program, while many of the other generators (in particular the tar-based ones) use built-in code.

Second, the zip program that is used is not configurable: ideally it would use a CMake cache variable so that I can set its location like any other build utility. Even setting ZIP_EXECUTABLE in CPackConfig.cmake does not work
unless the zip program takes WinZip syntax. The CPACK_ZIP_COMMAND var cannot
be controlled without replacing CPackZIP.cmake.
