Previously, we would search in the Windows registry for the path
to makensis, and fail immediately if we could not read the registry
value, assuming that it was simply not installed.
This change looks for makensis in the PATH even if the registry value
is not there, enabling the scenario where makensis is installed without
admin privileges and never even touches HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE during the
non-admin install.
In VS9 and previous versions, :VCReportError is the goto label
to jump to after a failed custom command. It stops the build
before it tries to go any further.
In VS10, :VCEnd is the correct label to use.
Create a method in the VS generators to provide the correct
line of script to use for each version of Visual Studio.
For more internal details, search for VCEnd in the
C:\Program Files\MSBuild directory.
The KWSys SystemTools::GetMaximumFilePathLength method is poorly
conceived and should not be used. The cmDepends code honors its own
MaxPath buffer size. Just hard-code it.
The first instinct of a lot of users is to use file(GLOB) to assemble
lists of sources. Add a warning to the help text stating that it should
not be used for this purpose and briefly explain why.

A cycle exists when the DFS returns to the root node, not just when
multiple paths lead to the same node.

The target_link_libraries command requires its first argument to be a
target in the current directory. Document this and update the error
message to be more specific. While at it, format the error message with
a call stack.
Previously the OUTPUT arguments of add_custom_command were not
slash-normalized but those of add_library and add_executable were.
This caused the example
add_custom_command(OUTPUT a//b.c ...)
add_library(... a//b.c ...)
to fail at build time with "no rule to make a/b.c". Fix this and modify
the CustomCommand test to try it.
This method replaces '//' with '/' to make the paths look nicer.
Originally it correctly skipped a leading '//' in a UNC path as the
comment says. However, commit "Removed extra variable initializations"
(2005-04-15) accidentally removed the "pos=1" initializer. It was then
incorrectly restored by commit "Added missing variable initialization"
(2005-04-15) as just "pos=0". Restore the proper initializer.
The test for this added by commit "better coverage" (2006-07-31)
included incorrect output for a sample UNC-like path. Fix it.
Pass the full version to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION) in generated
CMake files for try_compile projects. This tells CMake not to use any
backward compatibility behavior while processing code it generates.

Remove a boolean parameter of cmGlobalGenerator::CreateGlobalTarget that
is never set to true anymore. Remove global target "consolidation" loop
because no global targets exist before it runs anymore.
Commit e01cce28 (Allow add_dependencies() on imported targets,
2010-11-19) started using cmMakefile::FindTargetToUse to follow
dependencies, including those of GLOBAL_TARGETs like INSTALL and
PACKAGE. Since global targets exist in every directory, dependencies
between them must be traced within each directory too.
Teach FindTargetToUse to check the current directory before checking
globally. For global targets this will find the local copy. For for
normal targets this will be a no-op because they are globally unique.
