Summary:                    RPM generation chokes on directory symlinks with
latest rpmbuild
Description: 
As stated here (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005529), the
following specs file is no more legal as of rpmbuild 4.11

%files
%dir xxx
yyy/

when xxx or yyy are directory symlinks instead of proper directories.
Unfortunately CPack has not been taught that and it generates %dir xxx for a
directory symlink xxx.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Using the CMakeLists.txt attached to this bug report, issue "make package", on a
Linux machine with rpmbuild 4.11 (I tested with Fedora 20). You should get the
following error message:

error: Not a directory:
/home/luc/Developer/sandbox/build/_CPack_Packages/Linux/RPM/it-will-fail-0.1.1-Linux/usr/usr/share/test/project/subdir
    Not a directory:
/home/luc/Developer/sandbox/build/_CPack_Packages/Linux/RPM/it-will-fail-0.1.1-Linux/usr/usr/share/test/project/subdir
