What is the preferred method of variable retrieval and/pr parameter passing in 
the cpack generator structure. I have seen a mixture of passing values into 
functions and also using GetOption to obtain the wanted value.

I am currently looking at adding new functionality to allow for better control 
of package naming when working with generation of packages. This will include 
using a variable template for creation of the naming schema to be used. 
Currently I am allowing the package specific generator to build a map of the 
parameters for naming and pass the map into the function 
GetComponentPackageFileName. This will allow for the specific generator to 
control the values, but I am not sure if it is more efficient to use GetOption 
directly in the function.

What are the thoughts of the other developers working on CMake and CPack?
