[CMake] CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES

[David Cole]

It's the leading "/" in the txt portion of the expression..... get rid of

(Eric already pointed this out in his reply to this email...)

With the expression the way it is, you're trying to exclude things that have
literal "/.txt" in them. What you want is ".txt" right?
