Create installation packages

There are two approaches to create a deployable package for users

cpack

The preferred and official way is to use cpack -G ZIP.

On Windows the default generator would be NSIS, creating an executable of half size, but this executables are not callable via remote terminal session. Therefore we stick to ZIP.

create_binary_archive.py

In share/python the tool create_binary_archive.py is provided. It provides some command line features and also works on all systems an provide a .zip file. This is not the official way to distribute openCFS.
