I happened to read a little bit about CPack recently

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#Overview

The recommendation is to not use MACOSX_BUNDLE when using cpack, so I thought
maybe that makes it different enough to WIN32_EXECUTABLE that they should be
different CMAKE_ properties.

set(CMAKE_WIN32_EXECUTABLE ON)
set(CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE ON)

That would also mean that I can actually submit the patch. I'm not so keen on
having to change every generator instead. Actually I think the existing patch is
better than touching every generator anyway (that's at least in part why there
is an abstraction).

Thanks,

Steve.
