This can be checked easily by running:

cpack --debug -G NSIS

then you should get message like:

Got some ABSOLUTE DESTINATION FILES: ...<list of files>

This can be found in cmake_install.cmake as well, where some

list(APPEND CPACK_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES ....

statement may be found.

May be we could add some explicit warning/error in CPack when a specific
generator cannot handle absolute destination?

David: what do you think, would it be useful ?
