I've just found out that use of FindBISON.cmake shipped with CMake 2.8
on system where bison++ is default bison executable (e.g. Debian Linux)
will result in corrupted CMakeCache.txt file and parse error due to
"Offending entry"
As FindBISON.cmake logic used to obtain installed bison executable
version is tailored to match only the message used in GNU Bison it fails
on absolutely different Bison++ version message and whole version
message including \n characters is stored into BISON_VERSION which is
then dumped into CMakeCache.txt, so everything after first \n character
makes "Offending entry".
Handing th std::string instead the char* to the find()
reduces the time from 17 to 15 seconds (for a 1000 times loop of a
relatively small file), which is around 10 percent.

There are multiple/many places in KDE where the developer includes
moc_foo.cpp, and expects moc to run on foo.cpp, instead of foo.h.
He should use foo.moc, but right now this is handled by automoc4,
so we must stay compatible. So support this too, but warn about
it.

InstallRequiredSystemLibraries does not install any dlls when
used with VS 6 dashboards. Modify the ValidateBuild script to
expect only 1 file when building with VS 6.
Using "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<INSTALL_DIR>" does not work when
<INSTALL_DIR> evaluates to a long enough string. However, using
"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<INSTALL_DIR>" does work, even with
the longer strings. So: make sure to include the ":PATH" when using
this construct with ExternalProject calls so that they may install
to the proper location on VS 6 builds. All existing calls that match
"CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.*INSTALL_DIR" include the ":PATH" after this
commit.

Use expected values for the UseOfMfc xml element in
VS 10 .vcxproj files.
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG=1 maps to "Static"
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG=2 maps to "Dynamic"
all other values map to "false"
Thanks to Randy Schott and McBen for their patches which
served as inspiration and motivation for getting this done.

The mfc app in the test was generated by the VS 7.1 wizard,
and due to changes in VS since then, the values used for WINVER
and _WIN32_WINNT caused compile errors when built with VS 10
or later. Change them to values appropriate for targeting
Windows XP or later when building with VS 10 or later.

The Watcom WMake tool has trouble running commands in paths that have
parentheses. We already convert most commands to a shortpath for Watcom
if the path contains a space, but the use of $(CMAKE_COMMAND) hides the
true path from that conversion. Factor the shortpath conversion code
out into a new ConvertShellCommand method. Teach it to convert paths
that contain parentheses as well as spaces. Use the new method to
convert the value of $(CMAKE_COMMAND) and other helper variables.
The MFC test's mfc1 directory was a "VS-MFC-wizard-generated"
starter MFC app, using VS 7.1 as the generator. There's one define
used in the generated rc file that was not available back in the
VS6 days... Put a conditional define in here based on _MSC_VER
to enable the test app to build on VS6 dashboards.
Teach cmComputeLinkInformation to generate the "-framework" option as a
separate link item preceding the actual framework name. Then escape the
framework name to pass as an argument through a shell. This fixes the
link line for frameworks with spaces in the name.
The build system generators that call cli.GetItems() and generate the
final list of items on the link line already handle escaping correctly
for items that are paths. However, for raw link items like "-lfoo" they
just pass through to the command line verbatim. This is incorrect. The
generators should escape these items too. Unfortunately we cannot fix
that without introducing a new CMake Policy because projects may already
be passing raw link flags with their own escapes to work around this
bug. Therefore we punt on this bug for now and go with the above fix.
