Summary:                    Documentation for RPM CPack generator is missing a
number of the variables that it supports
Description: 
I don't know if this report is entirely appropriate, since it relates to the
wiki rather than the official documentation, but that's the only documentation
for the CPack RPM generator that I'm aware of. In any case, the page
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29 lists
the RPM-specific variables that CPack's RPM generator supports, and it's missing
several of them. In particular, these variables are missing

CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_URL
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SUGGESTS
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_OBSOLETES
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_PREFIX
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_CONFLICTS
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_AUTOPROV
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_AUTOREQ
CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_AUTOREQPROV

They need to be documented. It took me quite a while to figure out how to figure
out that CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_AUTOREQPROV even existed, let alone how to set it
(bug# 13898 made that harder than it should have been). You shouldn't need to
read CPackRPM.cmake to figure out how to use CPack's RPM generator.
