Thanks, cool :-)

What would you think about a macro like

cpack_set_component_properties(<component> PROPERTIES 
                                           [DESCRIPTION "Cool stuff"]
                                           [DISPLAY_NAME "HelloWorld"]
                                           [DEPENDS value1;value2]
                                           ...
                              )

I think I could come up with a patch which does that and put that into a 
UseCPack.cmake or CPackMacros.cmake file.
