I like the idea and it seems reasonable however since cmake has two UI:
cmake-gui
ccmake
may be it's worth adding those feature to both UI ?
I mean being able to download source run ccmake and end-up with a
installable package
(TGZ, RPM, DEB) etc... would be nice too.
Todays you may do it with an extra "make package" after you run ccmake
not a big deal
but the UI may let you chose the type of [supported] installer package you want.
