The frustrating part here is that I can't add_dependencies or post-build
custom_commands to the PACKAGE target because it is a "magic" CMake
target. I suppose I can look into writing a custom_command that runs
cpack with appropriate arguments, but I hoped to avoid this step.

Yeah, I was afraid of this. Looks like I'll need to maintain my own
mapping of cpack generator types -> extensions on disk.

Thanks for your help, Eric.
