Empty directories are not included in cpack generated archives/installers.

project(archive)

set(CMAKE_INSTALL_BINARY_DIR bin)
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT me)
set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX /opt/me)

install(CODE
  "
  file(MAKE_DIRECTORY
\$ENV{DESTDIR}\${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${CMAKE_INSTALL_BINARY_DIR}/userfiles)
  if(WIN32)
    execute_process(COMMAND icacls

Run cmake, then cpack -G TGZ or ZIP.  Open the archive, and you will see that
the directory is not included.

It is included for RPM, Deb and NSIS.
