Help: Add new section for CPack generators
The documentation for CPack generators previously lived in their
respective internal CMake modules. This setup was misleading,
because it implied that you should include the modules in your own
code, which is not the case. Moving the documentation into a
separate section does a better job of hiding the internal modules,
which are just an implementation detail. The generator documentation
has also been modified to remove any references to the module name.
The CPackIFW module is a special exception: since it has user-facing
macros, the documentation for these macros has been kept in the module
page, while all other documentation related to the IFW generator has
been moved into the new section.
To make it easier to find the new documentation, the old help pages
for the CPack*.cmake modules have not been deleted, but have been
replaced with a link to their respective help page in the new
documentation section.

This is an optional feature. + +Installers created by QtIFW_ tools have built-in support for +internationalization and many phrases are localized to many languages, +but this does not apply to the description of the your components and groups +that will be distributed. + +Localization of the description of your components and groups is useful for +users of your installers. + +A localized variable or argument can contain a single default value, and a +set of pairs the name of the locale and the localized value. + +For example: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + set(LOCALIZABLE_VARIABLE "Default value" + en "English value" + en_US "American value" + en_GB "Great Britain value" + ) + +Variables +^^^^^^^^^ + +You can use the following variables to change behavior of CPack ``IFW`` +generator. + +Debug +""""" + +.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_VERBOSE + + Set to ``ON`` to enable addition debug output. + By default is ``OFF``. + +Package +""""""" + +.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_TITLE + + Name of the installer as displayed on the title bar. + By default used :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY`. + +.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_PUBLISHER + + Publisher of the software (as shown in the Windows Control Panel). + By default used :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR`. + +.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_PRODUCT_URL + + URL to a page that contains product information on your web site. + +.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_ICON + + Filename for a custom installer icon.
