Hi Wayne,

Are you using CPack for this at all?  I don't know hardly anything about
Windows, but I'm looking at packaging up KiCad for OS X (which appears to
be the last piece--I had a week of successful builds!), and while I have a
shell script to do this, if you're using CPack we might as well make it
cross platform.  On the other hand, if you're not, I'll just use my script.
