[cmake-developers] CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE character encoding

[Nils Gladitz]

I wrote the WiX part and am pondering how to support extended character 
sets without having to provide an extra RTF file.

We've got an english license text file but our company address still 
contains a german umlaut.
I could provide an RTF but I'd prefer not to have two license files.
