I am really interested in how you did emulate the feature using
INSTALL / COMPONENT.
Do you have any CMakeLists.txt and/or CMake macro scripts examples?
Could you tell us how with those do you invoke cpack or make
in order to build you packages?

I think it's useful too, but is it specific generator task or is
it CPack task to do this? (this is an open question).
