Ok thanks that's probably the best solution.
So if I understand correctly this is more or less the same as writing my 
own nsi file,
run configure_file on it and then add a create_custom_target for 
packaging, is that right?

I will then probably write the file from scratch, trying to understand 
what it does, because
the template is quite mysterious at the moment..
