I pushed this to 'next' the other day, but the test failures on
dashmacmini3 remain, so the latest commit is not having its intended effect.

Back to Bill's original assertion:
"I am not sure how this works on a fresh build tree either as cpack won't
even exist."

It must work on fresh build trees, because all of our Nightly dashboards
work from fresh build trees. Since those work (even before this recent
branch), there must be something else going on here.

We're not going to merge this into 'master' until we get it right... I'll
take a look at this tomorrow if you don't have time to spend on it right
now, Eric.


Thanks,
David
