[CMake] CPack using Inno Setup compilation scripts ?

[Nicolas Desprès]

Hi,

I am afraid you will have to write a new generator for cpack. It is not as
hard as it sound but you will have to write C++ code. That would be great
if cpack could support inno setup since it is much easier to hack inno
setup script than NSIS script.

Cheers,
-Nico
