Hi guys,

Just stepping in to say that documenting generator-specifics features
is an issue
CPack has as well. Read discussion on that topic here:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10067

Currently I tried to put generator-specific doc. in CPack<GenName>.cmake file
such that

cmake --help-module  CPack<GenName>

will display the doc.

the idea in the end would be to have

cpack --help-generator <GenName> use the same mechanism to display the doc.

may be we can design some "unified" way to documents such things for
CMake/CPack/CTests.

I know there are some (huge) bits of doc burried into the C++ code too but
having a way to write some doc in separate files makes it easier to
enhance the doc.

Just throwing some ideas here.
