None of them are distinguishing source vs binary but the cygwin generator.

For CPack a source generator is a binary generator which is told to package
a directory which happens to contains the source.

Basically package source generator (in the sense of RPM, DEB and alike) are
unsupported.

You can search the ML archive for similar discussion on the subject:
