OK I'll submit a patch for RPM generator for which all
RPM_<WHATEVER> variables will become
CPACK_RPM_<WHATEVER>

However other CPack design issue discussion remains open:
The main one from my point is:

    Should we try to make CPack extensible through
    100% CMake macro files?
    Or similarly should we be able to write a NEW CPack
    generator consisting in "pure" CMake   macros.
    (no C++)

I'll try to setup a proper patch for that too,
since I am a bit busy too. I may not give a deadline
for that one even if I'm very interesting in the feature.
