CPack-FreeBSD: add a generator for FreeBSD pkg(8)

Adds an option CPACK_ENABLE_FREEBSD_PKG to allow CPack to look
for FreeBSD's libpkg / pkg(8). If this is set and the libpkg
headers and library are found (which they will be, by default,
on any FreeBSD system), then add a FreeBSD pkg(8) generator.

The FreeBSD package tool pkg(8) uses tar.xz files (.txz) with two
metadata files embedded (+MANIFEST and +COMPACT_MANIFEST).
This introduces a bunch of FreeBSD-specific CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_*
variables for filling in the metadata; the Debian generator does
something similar. Documentation for the CPack CMake-script is styled
after the Debian generator.

Implementation notes:
 - Checks for libpkg -- the underlying implementation for pkg(8) --
   and includes FreeBSD package-generation if building CMake on
   a UNIX host. Since libpkg can be used on BSDs, Linux and OSX,
   this potentially adds one more packaging format. In practice,
   this will only happen on FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD.
 - Copy-paste from cmCPackArchiveGenerator to special-case
   the metadata generation and to run around the internal
   archive generation: use libpkg instead.
 - Generating the metadata files is a little contrived.
 - Most of the validation logic for package settings is in
   CPackFreeBSD.cmake, as well as the code that tries to re-use
   packaging settings that may already be set up for Debian.
 - libpkg has its own notion of output filename, so we have
   another contrived bit of code that munges the output file
   list so that CPack can find the output.
 - Stick with C++98.

+CPackFreeBSD
+------------
+
+The built in (binary) CPack FreeBSD (pkg) generator (Unix only)
+
+Variables specific to CPack FreeBSD (pkg) generator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+CPackFreeBSD may be used to create pkg(8) packages -- these may be used
+on FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, but also on Linux or OSX,
+depending on the installed package-management tools -- using :module:`CPack`.
+
+CPackFreeBSD is a :module:`CPack` generator and uses the ``CPACK_XXX``
+variables used by :module:`CPack`. It tries to re-use packaging information
+that may already be specified for Debian packages for the :module:`CPackDeb`
+generator. it also tries to re-use RPM packaging information when Debian
+does not specify.
+
+CPackFreeBSD generator should work on any host with libpkg installed. The
+packages it produces are specific to the host architecture and ABI.
+
+CPackFreeBSD sets package-metadata through :code:`CPACK_FREEBSD_XXX` variables.
+CPackFreeBSD, unlike CPackDeb, does not specially support componentized
+packages; a single package is created from all the software artifacts
+created through CMake.
+
+All of the variables can be set specifically for FreeBSD packaging in
+the CPackConfig file or in CMakeLists.txt, but most of them have defaults
+that use general settings (e.g. CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME) or Debian-specific
+variables when those make sense (e.g. the homepage of an upstream project
+is usually unchanged by the flavor of packaging). When there is no Debian
+information to fall back on, but the RPM packaging has it, fall back to
+the RPM information (e.g. package license).
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_NAME
+
+  Sets the package name (in the package manifest, but also affects the
+  output filename).
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default:
+
+    - :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME` (this is always set by CPack itself,
+      based on CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME).
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_COMMENT
+
+  Sets the package comment. This is the short description displayed by
+  pkg(8) in standard "pkg info" output.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default:
+
+    - :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY` (this is always set
+      by CPack itself, if nothing else sets it explicitly).
+    - :variable:`PROJECT_DESCRIPTION` (this can be set with the DESCRIPTION
+      parameter for :command:`project`).
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION
+
+  Sets the package description. This is the long description of the package,
+  given by "pkg info" with a specific package as argument.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default:
+
+    - :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION` (this may be set already
+      for Debian packaging, so we may as well re-use it).
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_WWW
+
+  The URL of the web site for this package, preferably (when applicable) the
+  site from which the original source can be obtained and any additional
+  upstream documentation or information may be found.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default:
+
+   - :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE` (this may be set already
+     for Debian packaging, so we may as well re-use it).
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_LICENSE
+
+  The license, or licenses, which apply to this software package. This must
+  be one or more license-identifiers that pkg recognizes as acceptable license
+  identifiers (e.g. "GPLv2").
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default:
+
+    - :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_LICENSE`
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_LICENSE_LOGIC
+
+  This variable is only of importance if there is more than one license.
+  The default is "single", which is only applicable to a single license.
+  Other acceptable values are determined by pkg -- those are "dual" or "multi" --
+  meaning choice (OR) or simultaneous (AND) application of the licenses.
+
+  * Mandatory: NO
+  * Default: single
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_MAINTAINER
+
+  The FreeBSD maintainer (e.g. kde@freebsd.org) of this package.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default: none
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_ORIGIN
+
+  The origin (ports label) of this package; for packages built by CPack
+  outside of the ports system this is of less importance. The default
+  puts the package somewhere under misc/, as a stopgap.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default: misc/<package name>
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_CATEGORIES
+
+  The ports categories where this package lives (if it were to be built
+  from ports). If none is set a single category is determined based on
+  the package origin.
+
+  * Mandatory: YES
+  * Default: derived from ORIGIN
+
+.. variable:: CPACK_FREEBSD_PACKAGE_DEPS
+
+  A list of package origins that should be added as package dependencies.
+  These are in the form <category>/<packagename>, e.g. x11/libkonq.
+  No version information needs to be provided (this is not included
+  in the manifest).
+
+  * Mandatory: NO
+  * Default: empty
