An RC should be done to ensure that no additions to
CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES are required.

The downside of CPack is that it includes everything in the source
directory which is not explicitly excluded. This is the opposite of
autotools which only includes which is explicitly configured.

If the build is done on OSX the .DS_Store and similar files will need to
be excluded as well. There is no HOW-TO-RELEASE for proj-datumgrid (yet)
which documents the procedure, so issues like this are possible to be
missed.
