Summary:                    When CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY is set to 1,
the NSIS generator is always failed to be initialized
Description: 
When set CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY to 1 in the CMakeLists.txt, "nmake
package" or "wmake package" (not tried other compilers) will lead to the
following output:

CPack Error: NSIS Generator cannot work with CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY.
This option will be ignored.
CPack Error: Cannot initialize the generator NSIS


As long as it says this option will be ignored, the error should not be caused.

I have NSIS installed on my machine. The original source tree could be found
here:

https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/zipball/90978de4e2bfcdf6577ceb54edba9a044f10c5ba

Steps to Reproduce: 
Download the source tree:
https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/zipball/90978de4e2bfcdf6577ceb54edba9a044f10c5ba

Note that in the root CMakeLists.txt, CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY is set to
1.

Execute:  cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" .

Execute: nmake
Execute: nmake package

Then the output is:

CPack Error: NSIS Generator cannot work with CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY.
This option will be ignored.
CPack Error: Cannot initialize the generator NSIS
