[CMake] How to set CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES to remove all source code?

[David Fitzpatrick]

Thanks again Eric for the update... I pulled the cpack source code and 
started looking through it and came to the same conclusion. Additionally 
I ran into a message on the boards about the PACKAGE_SOURCE not being 
included in the cmake build. Everything started making sense shortly 
after I discovered the other type of build (binary versus source CPack 
projects) and I have now added the necessary code to not install source 
if desired.
