The attached patch (against CMake-2-6 branch) add
the requested support.

if the user defines one or several of thoses vars:
CPACK_RPM_POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
CPACK_RPM_POST_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
CPACK_RPM_PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE
CPACK_RPM_PRE_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE

with appropriate file names, the content of the specified files
will be embedded in the RPM spec file in the appropriate sections.

Moreover the current patch add custom user spec file.
If the user defines
CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE
to a custom made spec file, CPack RPM will use this spec file
instead of using its own generated spec file.
The user provided file will be
CONFIGURE( ... @ONLY) at CPack time.

Since the spec file usable by CPack RPM is a bit special
(because it skips some usual spec file step) one can ask CPackRPM
for a template file using

cd /your/build/dir
cpack -D CPACK_RPM_GENERATE_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE_TEMPLATE=1 -G RPM

then CPack will end with the following "error":
CPack: Compress package
CMake Error at ../../cmake-Verk-2_6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/CPackRPM.cmake:314 (MESSAGE):
  CPackRPM: STOP here Generated USER binary spec file templare is:
  /home/eric/CMake/builds/CMake-V2_6-CDTbuild/_CPack_Packages/Linux-x86_64/RPM/SPECS/cmake.spec.in

the user may copy the spec file and make appropriate changes before
using it with CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE.

Note that as usual all this CPACK_RPM_xxx vars may be defined either in
the user CMakeLists.txt or from the cpack command line.
