[CMake] How to codesign .msi from WIX/CPack?

[David Cole]

There may be a hook at the CPack level you can implement, but I'd have to dig to figure out what it is and if it even presently exists.

The easy thing to do would be to implement a custom target which does two custom commands: the first the same as CPack (the built-in package target) and the second, a custom command to sign the generated .msi file.
