If the CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable is defined, and
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is TRUE, then use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to run
the try_run executables. This prevents the need to populate
TryRunResults.cmake when cross compiling.
Extend sentences in other documentation linking to this manual to
say that it has a list of supported compilers.

These notes apply only for the use case of creating a package for
redistribution on machines other than that where it is built. Clarify
this to readers by placing the discussion in dedicated sections titled
accordingly.
Much of the information in the old set() command documentation is now
covered in the cmake-language(7) manual. Rewrite the documentation
with this in mind. Split up the signatures for each kind of variable
into different subsections.
Revert commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2~20 (add_dependencies: Disallow use with
INTERFACE_LIBRARY, 2013-12-25). Teach our dependency analysis to
transitively follow INTERFACE target utility dependencies as was done or
IMPORTED targets in commit v2.8.6~127^2~1 (Allow add_dependencies() on
imported targets, 2010-11-19). Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with a
case to cover header generation for a header-only INTERFACE library via
a custom target.
GLOB lists directories by default and GLOB_RECURSE does not.
LIST_DIRECTORIES enables user to control the behavior explicitly for
consistently for both GLOB and GLOB_RECURSE.
The find_package command already knows how to compute installation
prefixes from PATH. Use the same approach to establish prefixes for
find_library, find_file, and find_path to use to look in directories
like "<prefix>/lib[/<arch>]" and "<prefix>/include" for libraries and
headers. This will reduce the amount of configuration end users need to
do to establish a work environment rooted under a specific prefix.
This will allow per-config destinations for targets in EXPORT sets.
Using multiple install(TARGETS) with separate CONFIGURATIONS is
rejected as a target appearing more than once in an export set.
Now instead one can write
install(TARGETS foo EXPORT exp DESTINATION lib/$<CONFIG>)
to get a single logical membership of the target in the export set
while still having a per-config destination.

Most functionality is already implemented in Source/cmCoreTryCompile.{h,cxx}.
Document and improve argument parsing.
This functionality is already being used by a number of modules, like
CheckCSourceCompiles.cmake, but it is not documented.
The command has been documented as 'deprecated', but it is not really
slated for removal and can still be used. Clarify this in the
documentation. While at it, revise the documentation to use wording
more consistent with that now in target_link_libraries.

This adds support for the new cdash API where arbitrary files can be
uploaded to the CDash server. This CDash API communicates via json
files so the json parser jsoncpp was added to the Utilities directory.
