Hi Brian,

Some ##end documentation markup where missing one '#' which makes the
corresponding CPACK_APPLE_xxx var
not appearing in the command line doc.
The doc parser is almost dumm so that it's almost impossible to detect that
safely.
You'll find a patch attached which fix the one I saw.

You may easilly check whether you added doc is there using:

cpack --help-variable-list | grep CPACK_APPLE

then you'll see if all is there.

cpack --help-variable CPACK_APPLE_ENTITLEMENTS

should give you the doc of the corresponding var.
