I actually prefer having one vanilla installation for basic testing so
I'll stick with it.

That's the default way of printing out with message(...) command so
I'm not certain if that can be changed with mode but since for years
the entire module prints to stderr I'm not certain if changing that
would be a smart thing to do.

I won't be working on that until tonight (10-11 pm and I think we're
in the same time zone) so if you'd like you can send a new patch. I've
already merged parts of it with other commits.

Regarding the CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT not being used elsewhere - there's
a request for similar functionality in CPackRPM so I intend to use it
there as well. It should stay.
