Hmm..
Currently there are (from CPack.cmake):

the following binary package types:
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_BUNDLE       Bundle)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_DRAGNDROP    DragNDrop)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR CPACK_BINARY_PACKAGEMAKER PackageMaker)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_OSXX11       OSXX11)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_CYGWIN     CygwinBinary)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_DEB          DEB)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_RPM          RPM)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_NSIS         NSIS)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_STGZ         STGZ)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_TGZ          TGZ)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_TBZ2         TBZ2)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_TZ           TZ)
 cpack_optional_append(CPACK_GENERATOR  CPACK_BINARY_ZIP          ZIP)


and the following source package types:

  cpack_optional_append(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR  CPACK_SOURCE_CYGWIN  
CygwinSource)
  cpack_optional_append(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR  CPACK_SOURCE_TGZ     TGZ)
  cpack_optional_append(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR  CPACK_SOURCE_TBZ2    TBZ2)
  cpack_optional_append(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR  CPACK_SOURCE_TZ      TZ)
  cpack_optional_append(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR  CPACK_SOURCE_ZIP     ZIP)


Adding a 7Z one to both sounds reasonable.
What do others think ?
