For example, when CPACK_<GEN>_COMPONENT_INSTALL and
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL are both set. Previously, this
combination of variable settings produced an error without
any explanation. Now, in this case CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL wins
without trouble.
This is useful for when e.g. CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL is
globally on and one wants MONOLITHIC install for STGZ (but not
other generators). The same behavior may be obtained by re-setting
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to 0 but in any case the
'both set' case should have been handled without error.
CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY should be set by the user
in order to get the toplevel directory included in the archive
whenever a componentized archive is requested. This solves bug #12129
and keeps fully backward compatible behavior.
Also allow generators to override the default packaging method.
Add a ONE_PER_GROUP option so that method can be specified by the user without relying on defaults.
RPM cannot easily 'merge' differents directory into a single RPM
with shared prefix. So more flexibility has been added to generic
CPackGenerator in order to let the specific generator chose the
local installation directory for each component.
This authorize more control because one can set
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to ON globally
and then set it selectively to OFF inside
a CPack project config file.
Sidenote: GetOption ought to be a 'const' method.

cd7b8a0 CPack: Refactor API in order to handle multi-file packages
The multi-argument CompressFiles(...) method has been replace by the
no-argument PackageFiles() method and 3 more member variables. This
will enable implemention of multi-package generators. Now each specific
generator (which overloads PackageFiles()) may decide to change the name
and/or the number of generated package files.
This allows for a built in bzip and zip capability, so external tools
will not be needed for these packagers. The cmake -E tar xf should be
able to handle all compression types now as well.
