Enable component packaging. If enabled (ON), then the archive generator
creates multiple packages. The default is OFF, which means that a single
package containing files of all components is generated.

+Variables used by CPack Archive generator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These variables are used by the Archive generator, but are also available to
+CPack generators which are essentially archives at their core. These include:
+
+ - :cpack_gen:`CPack Cygwin Generator`
+ - :cpack_gen:`CPack FreeBSD Generator`
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_ARCHIVE_THREADS
+
+ The number of threads to use when performing the compression. If set to
+ ``0``, the number of available cores on the machine will be used instead.
+ The default is ``1`` which limits compression to a single thread. Note that
+ not all compression modes support threading in all environments. Currently,
+ only the XZ compression may support it.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Official CMake binaries available on ``cmake.org`` ship with a ``liblzma``
+ that does not support parallel compression.
