Brad King 99e432508e BUG: Use link language for target name computation
The commit "Do not compute link language for LOCATION" was wrong.  The
variables

  CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX_Java
  CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_Java

are used for building Java .jar files.  This commit re-enables the
feature and documents the variables:

  CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_PREFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_SUFFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
  CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>

Instead of making separate, repetitive entries for the _<LANG> variable
documentation, we just mention the per-language name in the text of the
platform-wide variable documentation.  Internally we keep undocumented
definitions of these properties to satisfy CMAKE_STRICT mode.

Brad King 2b5d97419f ENH: Do not compute link language for LOCATION
The LOCATION property requires the full file name of a target to be
computed.  Previously we computed the linker language for a target to
look up variables such as CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>.  This led
to locating all the source files immediately instead of delaying the
search to generation time.  In the future even more computation will be
needed to get the linker language, so it is better to avoid it.

The _<LANG> versions of these variables are undocumented, not set in any
platform file we provide, and do not produce hits in google.  This
change just removes the unused feature outright.

Brad King d2b108150f BUG: Recognize .so shared libraries on HP-UX
HP-UX uses both .sl and .so as extensions for shared libraries.  This
teaches CMake to recognize .so shared libraries so they are treated
properly during link dependency analysis.

Brad King 98c51ff6dc ENH: Overhaul CMake version numbering
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.

Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number.  Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".

We still use odd minor numbers for development versions.  Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.

Brad King cb788e8f6d ENH: Re-enable system include dir suppression
This creates variable CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to
specify implicit include directories on a per-language basis.  This
replaces the previous platform-wide variable.  It is necessary to
avoid explicit specification of -I/usr/include on some compilers
(such as HP aCC) because:

  1.) It may break ordering among system include directories defined
      internally by the compiler, thus getting wrong system headers.
  2.) It tells the compiler to treat the system include directory
      as a user include directory, enabling warnings in the headers.

See issue #8598.

Brad King 35e391c93b ENH: Provide variable CMAKE_VERSION

Brad King e4325e7d9c BUG: Fix <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property/variable docs
The CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX variable and <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property were
not documented.  This updates the CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX and DEBUG_POSTFIX
documentation to refer to the more general variable/property.  It also
clarifies that the variable is used as the property default only for
non-executable targets.  See issue #7868.

Brad King 990c6b0b90 ENH: Allow custom limit on object file path length
Some native build tools, particularly those for cross compiling, may
have a limit on the length of the full path to an object file name that
is lower than the platform otherwise supports.  This change allows the
limit to be set by the project toolchain file through the variable
CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX.

"variables that Provide Information", since it should be used only for
testing whether we are currently in cross compiling mode, not for switching
between the modes.

Brad King d46ff28ac9 ENH: Convert CMAKE_LINK_OLD_PATHS to policy CMP0003.
- Policy is WARN by default so projects will build
    as they did in 2.4 without user intervention
  - Remove CMAKE_LINK_OLD_PATHS variable since it was
    never in a release and the policy supercedes it
  - Report target creation backtrace in warning message
    since policy should be set by that point

Brad King 96fd5909d9 ENH: Implement linking with paths to library files instead of -L and -l separation. See bug #3832
- This is purely an implementation improvement.  No interface has changed.
  - Create cmComputeLinkInformation class
  - Move and re-implement logic from:
      cmLocalGenerator::ComputeLinkInformation
      cmOrderLinkDirectories
  - Link libraries to targets with their full path (if it is known)
  - Dirs specified with link_directories command still added with -L
  - Make link type specific to library names without paths
    (name libfoo.a without path becomes -Wl,-Bstatic -lfoo)
  - Make directory ordering specific to a runtime path computation feature
    (look for conflicting SONAMEs instead of library names)
  - Implement proper rpath support on HP-UX and AIX.
