I am going to want this on MacOS.  However, on this page:

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack

A remark was added on 18 June, which reads:

    Also, as of the time of this writing, the extensions to CPack 
    required to build component-based installers are only available 
    via CMake CVS. 

My version of CMake is 2.8.2, which I installed via an installer.  Does this mean
that in order to build a component-based (not monolithic) installer with
PackageMaker, that I need to checkout CMake and built from source?

...and if so, do I need to apply patches from:
