Comment (by jng):

 CPack in its current form is not quite useful for us in MapGuide as a
 majority of the MapGuide thirdparty libs are not built via CMake, but via
 make and autotools (which currently requires a separate assist build phase
 via cmake_bootstrap.sh).

 CPack relies on us being able to {{{install()}}} such external library
 files which is not possible in this current setup.

 The best we can do here is to use the prefix defined in cmake_bootstrap.sh
 as an intermediate staging are from which our CMake build "copies" from
 into its CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR staging area, that we can then proceed
 to {{{install()}}} from.
