Yes, that makes sense.  The keys could each be either a relative path

a new type for this.  Do you have a name in mind?

Assuming there are no use cases which would make these properties useful at install time as well I would suggest "CPACK" otherwise "INSTALL".

A single (optional)
- cmake_package.cmake
- cpack_properties.cmake
- or CMakeCPackProperties.cmake?

file in the root directory might also make more sense when CPack is used
without CMake.

The reason cmake_install.cmake is sprinkled in each directory is so
the makefile generators can support "cd subdir; make install".
I do not think we support this with CPack so a single file at the
top makes sense.  I think the name should start in "CPack" but
otherwise have no preference currently.

Then perhaps "CPackProperties.cmake" in case this stays CPack specific and "cmake_install_properties.cmake" otherwise.
