This is what I do - it seems to work, but it took a bit of figuring out.

Attached is the script I use to package our product.  it defines a
macro "ADD_COMPONENT_PACKAGE(component)" where component is a
COMPONENT as passed to the INSTALL command - so you just call that
macro once for each component you want to create a package for.
A target is created for each package with the name
PACKAGE_${component}, and there is an ALL_PACKAGES target to build
them all.
If you use this script, then make sure you don't also include CPack.cmake.

I have also attached the CPackConfig.in file I use, for reference.

Regards,
Stuart.
