Summary:                    CPack should be able to set owner of files in the
archive
Description: 
When I use CPack, it sets the current user as owner of files in the tar.gz
archive. It is more advisable and secure, to set the root as owner of this
files, so some option is required.

Additional Information: 
When extracting tar archive with the root as owner of files in the archive, the
owner of extracted files will be current user. When the owner of files in the
archive is non-root and this archive is extracted by root - if user with same
name exists in the system, it will be the owner of extracted files. So when
building installation package, it is advisable to set the root as owner of files
in the archive.
