+cmCPackGenericGenerator::InstallProject is used for both source and binary
+packages. It is controled based on values set in CPACK_ variables.
+
+
+InstallProject
+ 1. CPACK_INSTALL_COMMANDS - a list of commands used to install the package
+
+ 2. CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES - copy this directory to CPACK_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY
+
+ 3. CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS - a cmake install script
+ - run make preinstall
+ - run cmake_install.cmake
+ - set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the temp directory
+ - CPACK_BUILD_CONFIG check this and set the BUILD_TYPE to it
+ - ReadListFile on the install script cmake_install.cmake
+ - run strip on the executables and libraries if CPACK_STRIP_FILES is TRUE
+
+Recommendations:
+
+rename cmCPackGenerators to cmCPackGeneratorFactory
+
+rename cmCPackGenericGenerator --> cmCPackGenerator
+
+rename cmCPackGenericGenerator::ProcessGenerator -> cmCPackGenerator::DoPackage
+
+
+break up cmCPackGenerator::InstallProject so it calls the following:
+
+// run user provided install commands
+ cmCPackGenerator::RunInstallCommands();
+// copy entire directories that need no processing like source trees
+ cmCPackGenerator::CopyPreInstalledDirectories();
+// run the cmake install scripts if provided
+ cmCPackGenerator::RunCMakeInstallScripts()
