OK, then, I would say that it was not installed correctly or the sources 
have been modified in some way that breaks this.  If you build stock 
CMake, I have never seen it not find cpack.   On the other hand, since 
cpack/cmake/ctest are meant to be a family of tools, it is unlikely that 
this change will make it into the CVS for CMake.  As, not having it when 
it is supposed to be there is a symptom of some other problem.
