My motivation is this. I want to submit a few improvements to the way  
CPack writes config files, starting with that cpack_set_if_not_set change  
I mentioned a while back. This functionality is generator-independent (and  
basically unrelated to actual package generation), so I thought  
RunCMake.CPack was not the appropriate place to test it.

Since there doesn't seem to be a test suite specifically for config file  
writing, I thought I'd create one in a separate patch so that my later  
patches don't have as much boilerplate in them. The Simple test is just  
there to ensure I don't break the simple case while changing the more  
complex ones. Well, and it would be silly to submit a test suite with no  
tests in it.

Roman.
