[CMake] CPack MacOSX support

[Mike Jackson]

along these same lines, how is cmake handling the issue with paths in  
OS X libraries such as @executable_path/../Frameworks ?

Simply copying the library inside the App bundle will not work most  
of the time. Is there any upcoming support to allow the setting of  
the rpath in generated libraries? Scripts for running  
install_name_tool on a library and picking up all the dependancies?

Thanks
