Another question, can I have the bundle generator make another sub

different plist, icons, etc... from global variables instead of just
using the ones I already set on the executables.

Or does it not make sense to create installers like this?
I think it makes sense, personally, but the Bundle generator doesn't support it. If you wanted to do it that way I guess I'd add component support (like
the PackageMaker/NSIS installers support) to the Bundle generator.

You may end up having to create a shell script to create your distribution. Have CMake configure the shell script appropriately and then have CMake run the shell script to move everything into the proper location when CPack runs.

Also, yes, on OS X this is the preferred way to make an "installer" with multiple Applications. Create a Top level folder and then all your individual apps go in that folder. The user can then just drag the top level folder to where ever it is they want it installed.
