OK, I'll do that.

Given that 3.0 is already in the roadmap and IIUC there will be no 2.8.13,
what should I expect? What branch should I base on? Should I wait until the
roadmap for 3.0 has clarified or should I start work ASAP?

I am also hoping to get EXTRACT_COMMAND in ExternalProject:

https://elpauer.assembla.com/code/elpauercmake/git/nodes/epa_extract_command

(branch is a bit dated)

Essentially, it adds an EXTRACT_COMMAND to ExternalProject_Add so that you
can tell CMake to download a file it does not know how to extract (e. g. an
MSI or an NSIS installer), then tell it how to extract it (e. g. "msiexec
/a /qb downloadedfile.msi TARGETDIR=<SOURCE_DIR>).

I could use both features (CPack 7-zip generator and EXTRACT_COMMAND in
ExternalProject_Add) in winstng.
