STGZ now uses the "CPACK_STGZ_INCLUDE_SUBDIR" (new feature) setting given by CPACK as a default on wether or not to include subdir.
Some checks have been made so that STGZ packages use CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX if defined, as documentation suggests it should at https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX.html
(It would probably be advantageous to mention CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX in the cpack documentation at https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CPack.html, but I don't know where in the repo your documentation resides.)
The setting is overridden by any arguments given upon execution, enabling installation in any location chosen by user if need be.
A potential problem is that the configure_file mechanic doesn't support flow control, so the resulting script has a if clause that always returns the same.
In combination these changes allow the creation of a package that installs in the location the packager intended by default.
