[CMake] Cmake/MacPackaging

[Michael Wild]

Hi

Although it is not directly integrated with CMake/CPack, you might  
want to have a look at how the mozilla/firefox guys do it:

and also these posts are quite useful:

I use mozilla's pkg_dmg tool, which gives me quite nice .dmg's,  
including license agreement. In order to create the background, I use  
a "template-dmg", where I add a custom background image, arrange dummy  
files/folders (with the correct names) and a symlink to /Applications  
just the way I want it, and then copy out the .DS_Store file. This  
file I then pass to pkg_dmg for inclusion in the final .dmg. The  
"template" has to be a .dmg, else stupid Finder will use absolute path  
names in the .DS_Store file.
