Commit "Modernize GNU compiler info on Windows" (2009-12-02) reorganized
GNU flags on Windows but let -fPIC slip through for compilation of
objects in shared libraries. While this flag is valid on most GNU
compiler platforms we need to suppress it in Windows-GNU.cmake just as
we already do in CYGWIN-GNU.cmake.
This modifies the behavior of PYTHON_WRITE_MODULES_HEADER, should be backwards
compatible. Also marked a couple of the variables generated by adding Python
modules as advanced.
PathScale Fortran mangles module symbols as "MY_SUB.in.MY_MODULE" and
also requires "my_module_" when the module is imported. We cannot
provide the symbol with ".in." mangling so we should not provide
"my_module_" because it would duplicate the one in the Fortran-provided
object file.
Commit "FortranCInterface: Fix PathScale detection" (2010-01-22) already
made the same fix for the non-underscore module case.

Now instead of one linked resource for each project() just one linked
resource to the top level source directory is created.
This should really avoid this type of name clashes. And to me it looks also
much less confusing.
Hopefully the name "[Source directory]" containing a space and square
brackets doesn't lead to problems somewhere. Here it works.

In commit 'Create KWSYS_PLATFORM_INFO_TEST macro' (2009-11-20) we
implemented the macro to use a cache entry to avoid re-running the
try_compile(). However, the output copied from the try_compile is
needed on every configure. If the user wipes out the build tree but not
the cache file then the try_compile() will not re-run to recreate the
needed file. We address the problem by teaching the macro to run the
try_compile() whenever its output file does not exist.
We store custom command rule hashes in CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt
persistently across CMake runs. When the rule hash changes we delete
the custom command output file and write a new hash into the persistence
file.
This functionality was first added by the commit 'Introduce "rule
hashes" to help rebuild files when rules change.' (2008-06-02).
However, the implementation in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckRuleHashes kept
the file open for read when attempting to rewrite a new file. On
Windows filesystems this prevented the new version of the file from
being written! This caused the first set of rule hashes to be used
forever within a build tree, meaning that all custom commands whose
rules changed would be rebuilt every time CMake regenerated the build
tree.
In this commit we address the problem by splitting the read and write
operations into separate methods. This ensures that the input stream is
closed before the output stream opens the file.
