I have pushed simple change in commit c109b08 to include CPack in cmake project. It adds targets package and package_source to build directory. First is binary package. There is support for Windows installer NSIS, which might be handy. Similar approach could be used to produce package for Mac OSX. It can do more formats, but it seems unusable to me for rpm.

Would someone with Windows development tools try to produce installer, whether it seems handy? Do we want to produce easy to install binaries for public audience?

Source package target is not very useful, reworked make dist is far superior. It packages almost everything it cames along, so it has to be done only to empty source tree.
