Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools. Drop options that are no longer supported:
--copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
--help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules
De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.
We will no longer support full documentation generation from executables
and will instead generate documentation with other tools. Disable (with
a warning left behind) the command-line options:
--copyright
--help-compatcommands
--help-full
--help-html
--help-man
Drop supporting code. Drop manual sections generation from executables.
Remove internal documentation construction APIs. Drop unused sections

Add a new command line argument to ctest. This allows users to
rerun tests that failed during the previous call to ctest. This
is accomplished by analyzing the most recently modified file named
"^LastTestsFailed*" in the Testing/Temporary subdirectory of the
project's binary directory.
The ctest_configure command already reads the CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR
variable to get the value for the cmake -G option. Read new variable
CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET for -T.
The "ctest --build-and-test" mode already has "--build-generator" to
specify the -G option to CMake. Add a "--build-generator-toolset" option
to specify the -T value.
Remove the old "nocwd" behavior that attempts to provide the "--help"
output when no working directory is available. The long help output
scrolls the real error message out of typical terminal sizes. Also
execute as little code as possible when no working directory exists.
This modifications set tries to keep the unified doc for cmake/ctest/cpack
while introducing tool specific documentation separated.
Some documentation sections for CMake do not fit well to CPack.
This command allows a user to quickly see the list of all available
test labels. The labels are also printed in verbose show only mode,
alongside their corresponding tests.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This creates an undocumented 'ctest --launch' mode. It launches a
specified command and optionally records a failure in an xml fragment.
We will optionally use this in CTest's Build stage to record per-rule
build failure information when using Makefile generators.
