In commit v3.3.0-rc1~49^2~2 (cmake-gui: Add --install option to add
command-line tools on OS X, 2015-05-19) the option default was set to
/usr/bin because that is where the old command line install dialog
placed the symlinks. A better default is /usr/local/bin because it is
meant for locally installed software rather than Apple-installed tools.
Also, as of OS X El Capitan, special privileges are required even for
root to modify /usr/bin but not /usr/local/bin.

41477d5c cmake-gui: Drop undocumented and unused --mac-install option
The QMacInstallDialog infrastructure no longer works on modern OS X
versions. Drop it and replace the dialog with a simple info box that
explains to the user how to run 'cmake-gui --install' to add symlinks.
Also suggest simply modifying the PATH.
This approach is similar to the Xcode 'xcode-select --install' method
of installing Xcode Command Line Tools.
On OS X add an "--install[=/path/to/bin]" option (defaulting to
/usr/bin) that installs symbolic links into the given directory.
This will help OS X users make the tools available on the command
line even when they sit inside a CMake.app bundle.
This option was once used by our OS X package installer to create
symlinks at install time. Since switching to the DragNDrop installer
we no longer use this option.
There is no need to duplicate these in all cmLocalGenerators.
Rename the symbols according to current conventions.
Add explicit calls to Set{Source,Binary}Directory with empty strings
in order to trigger the population of the components containers with
the current working directory in cmLocalGenerator. Having
directories set to empty is a special case in CMake, which is relied
on for the `if(CMAKE_BINARY_DIR)` condition at the end of
CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake.
They are maintained as containing the same content as the 'home'
directories, but they are never read from.
Fix some comments and help strings which confused the two by
name. They actually mean what is called CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR in
cmake code.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.
At the start of each configure step we already reset the generator
selection (CMAKE_GENERATOR) to match that loaded for the current
project. Add missing code to reset the generator platform and toolset
(CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM and CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET) also so that they
do not leak across projects.
Output sent through these APIs is logically part of the CMake process
output. Capture it with callbacks and display it in the cmake-gui
output window along with other messages.
Use the CPack DragNDrop generator instead of the deprecated PackageMaker
tool to package CMake itself. This provides an installation experience
that is more consistent with other products on OS X and allows users to
select the destination directory easily. It also avoids installing
"/private/var/db/receipts/com.Kitware.CMake.*" receipts that must be
removed by "pkgutil --forget com.Kitware.CMake" before another version
of CMake can be installed.
The DragNDrop installer does not support a post-flight script, so drop
our configuration of it. The cmake-gui has an option for installing
symbolic links to enable command-line use. In practice users may simply
add "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin" to their PATH instead.
Drop the icon file extension. This fixes the desktop file validation
message:
"CMakeSetup32.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop Entry" is an icon
name with an extension, but there should be no extension as described in
the Icon Theme Specification if the value is not an absolute path

ee8cef87 Encoding: If configured, write Visual Studio project files as UTF-8.
91fd99b8 Encoding: Provide option to configure CMake to use UTF-8 encoding.
Override the QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY cache variable with a regular
variable in the Qt 5 configuration. This avoids linking with the
Qt 4 version of the WinMain library.
