[CMake] Creating project distribution using cpack.

[Rob Mathews]

Actually, I realize the problem here - you are assuming that one would
build the full toolset, and I simply built only CMake because I only
needed CMake and didn't want to wait for the rest of the compile. Thus,
the first time it ran because it use the defaults from the installation,
but the next it didn't run because it was using the new partially built
directory.

That should work, and works well for many people using cmake from CVS.  
If you are interested in getting to the bottom of the problem, I can 
help.  But I don't think just removing the check is the right solution, 
as theoretically it actually built cpack, and it was in the right 
place.   I am not saying there is not a bug here, but I would like to 
find the real problem if possible.   If I follow the steps you give, I 
have no problem.  Of course, I do not know what compiler versions and 
options you were using.
