[CMake] How can I unzip a file?

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Well technically you do not need anything extra for ZIP. The only
missing part IMHO is the API from within CPack (cpack is almost always
guarantee to be installed on system providing cmake), see my post:

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-January/026361.html

I have not been able to find out how to do that, even when trying to
fool cpack with a dummy CPackConfig.cmake file...

You would then be able to add a custom rule calling cpack, making it
nicely portable...
