Summary

0016000: CPack/WIX: Extend CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER feature to support hierachical folders.

Description

Currently,
With CPack/WIX, through the variable CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER, it is only possible to create a one level folder entry in the program menu.

It would be nice to extend the support for multiple folders.

Additional Information

It would be nice if variable CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER is extended to support paths rather than names.
For example:
set (CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER "Folder1/Folder2") will result in the creation on hierarchical folders in the program menu of Windows.

And it seems also interesting to extend INSTALL property CPACK_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS to support paths rather than names to have full flexibility in menu entries creation.
For example:
set (CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER "Folder1/Folder2")
set_property (INSTALL item1 PROPERTY CPACK_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS "Folder3/Item1")
set_property (INSTALL item2 PROPERTY CPACK_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS "Folder4/Item2")

so we will have 2 entries created:
Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Item1
Folder1/Folder2/Folder4/Item2
