[CMake] Cpack Nsis not installing libraries

[Mauricio Klein]

Hello Mr.Noulard!

Sorry for the late in reply. I had a 'miss configured' filter in my e-mail
dropping all mails.

1) Thanks for the explanation! I will take a look at the "BundleUtilities",
once this is exactly what i need: a autonomous application.

2) I'm using CMake version '2.8.7'.

In Linux, i don't have problems with dependencies, once i'm generating
'Deb' and 'RPM' packages with CPack, and the dependencies are solved by the
package manager of the OS.

But in Windows i'm having troubles, specially because i'm using
'Pthreads-Win32' instead the Threads implemented by the Windows API, and,
once there isn't a proper installer to 'Pthreads-Win32' (OpenSSL has!), i
can't rely in a library installed elsewhere then the Installation directory.

Thanks in advance for your attention!
