CMake is a perfect tool on its own
As far as I know CPack and CTest depends on CMake but why
should CMake depends on CPack or CTest?
Please take my opinion as a wish EVEN IF I AM USING CMake+CPack
(CTest is coming soon).
But the day I found something "better" or "more suited to my needs"
which may replace CPack/CTest and I will certainly be angry if I should
keep CPack/CTest installed if I don't need it.
I know that CMake/CTest/CPack are provided together but I don't
think it would be a good design choice to enforce dependency unless
it is really needed.
It is more a matter of convenience, and versions. It is painful enough
to maintain binaries for all the platforms we do, but to have to do it
for three separate tools would be worst. Maybe at some point in the
future it might be an install option, but we are talking about a pretty
small delta to the install size for CMake.
