[CMake] TGZ installer following links

Which version of CMake/CPack ?
On which platform(s) ?
Do you use CPack alone or CMake+CPack?

I guess not, symlinks should be packaged just fine on platform where
it is supported.

Where does the symlinks comes from ?
In which CMake INSTALL commands are they found?

I use CMake generated symlinks (for versioned shared libs) all the time
and this works well with CPack TGZs?

May be you can provide us with a minimal example project exhibiting the issue
or at least send us your CPackConfig.cmake file.
