Summary:                    Default value for CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT when
installing 64 bit binaries is $PROGRAMFILES
Description: 
When using the NSIS installer on Windows the default install root directory is
set to $PROGRAMFILES.  This is true even when installing 64 bit binaries on a 64
bit system.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Create 64 bit binary and create an NSIS installer.  The default root install
directory is (most likely) C:\Program Files (x86)\

Additional Information: 
I have attached a patch file that sets the default install root directory to
$PROGRAMFILES64 when using the 64 bit cl compiler.
