Of course.  Since all the code I work with is published on multiple OSes, cmake 
is a godsend.  I'm actively working on replacing as much of our legacy build 
methods with cmake solutions.  The cmake basics have come relatively easily to 
me.  CPack is another story.

Once I get through to the end of this tunnel and have learned CPack well 
enough, I hope to be in a position to offer more constructive contributions to 
easing this learning curve.  But, like the problem you describe where there is 
never time for docs and never enough docs, the reality is that when my builds 
are humming, there will be other tasks waiting -- and the task of 'giving back 
to the community' somehow never rises to the top of the stack.

One thought that is jangling around in my head right now:

WRT install(CODE ...) quoting, would it be useful to support the ruby "here 
document" syntax?

install(CODE <<xxx
    include(BundleUtilities)
    fixup_bundle("${APPS}" "${QTPLUGINS}" "${DIRS}")
xxx
    COMPONENT Runtime)

Or is variable substitution at cmake execution time more the rule than the 
exception?
