This allows creating simple compressed binary packages easily,
which is handy on less mainstream platforms which lack
dedicated packages, or such packages are overkill and
impractical (eg: debian).
For the future it is planned to add some support for at least the
CPack RPM and NSIS generators.
The CPack code is based on the Inkscape project[1].
