Brad King b42866a34a Drop Visual Studio 6 generator
This generator has been deprecated since CMake 3.3.  Remove it.
Update documentation, modules, and tests to drop content specific
to this generator.

James Johnston 3bb707f0a1 Help: Improve formatting of variable documentation
Improve formatting, primarily by:

* Adding links to relevant commands, properties, generators, and so on.
* Converting code, symbols, paths, and so on to fixed-width fonts.
* Hard wrapping lines to 80 characters or less.

Geoff Viola 48004d9dbe Add a 'Green Hills MULTI' generator on Windows
Green Hills MULTI is an IDE for embedded real-time systems.  The IDE's
product page can be found here:

 http://www.ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html

It supports cross compiling on ARM, Intel x86, and other architectures
with various operating systems.  The IDE exists on Linux and Windows
host systems, but CMake will currently only generate the project files
on Windows host systems.

Brad King ab9fa54d48 Xcode: Switch to internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generator (#15324)
The "cmakexbuild" wrapper is not needed for Xcode 4 and above, and the
path to it may change when CMake moves.  Avoid storing a specific path
to a build program in CMakeCache.txt and instead compute the value for
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM on demand.  However, if a user does set the value
explicitly then honor it.

This does for Xcode what commit v3.0.0-rc1~260^2~4 (VS: Switch to
internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generators, 2013-11-15) did for
Visual Studio generators.

Brad King 0c55729c13 VS: Add CMAKE_VS_(DEVENV|MSBUILD|MSDEV)_COMMAND variables
Since commit 5f5c92b9 (VS: Add internal APIs to find MSBuild,
devenv/VCExpress, and msdev, 2013-11-13) the VS generators have
known how to lookup the locations of their build tools directly.
Expose this information to CMake language code by defining new
variables to hold the paths to these tools.

Brad King 4cce44b6c5 Help: Document the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM variable in more detail
Explain how it is set for each group of generators.  Also explain
the build-time selection behavior used by Visual Studio generators.

Brad King 4ac75fdfe6 Prefer CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM over CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL (#14548)
Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively.  Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.

Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around.  Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules.  Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.

Kitware Robot f051814ed0 Convert builtin help to reStructuredText source files
Run the convert-help.bash script to convert documentation:

 ./convert-help.bash "/path/to/CMake-build/bin"

Then remove it.
