Summary:                    All the Files in the Source Tarballs (from "make
package_source" on UNIX-like platforms) Have Close (and Arbitrary) Timestamps
Description: 
All the Files in the Source Tarballs (from "make package_source" on UNIX-like
platforms) Have Close (and Arbitrary) Timestamps. This is because the files are
copied to their directories without preserving their original timestamps, in an
arbitrary order (and then they are tarballed).

This interferes with my workflow because I keep some generated files in the
source archive (without putting them in my CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES ) so they
will be available without being needed to be generated again (for example, some
documentation files I have require AsciiDoc and the DocBook/XML toolchain to
install, and I don't want to require the end-users to have it.). So "make" often
tries to build them again and it may interfere with the workflow.

Steps to Reproduce: 
On Linux/UNIX: "mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .. ; make package_source; tar
-tvf *.tar.gz | less"
