Describe how to define a buildsystem of binary targets, how to
express dependencies between them, how to add build specifications,
how to specify usage requirements, transitive and compatible
propagation and the various pseudo targets.
Test that it is an error to read a number-compatible property to
determine the link implementation. An alternative would be to
consider the value to be "0", however, that is too arbitrary
given the use-cases of this feature. Values from this feature may
be used in setting a define, where "0" may have special or invalid
meaning and should be explicit.
If the dependent target sets the property to boolean false, ensure
that that appears in the debug report. Previously, the report
output contained whether the property was consistent among dependencies,
displaying 'TRUE', instead of the content of the property, which may
be 'FALSE'.
Return a std::pair from the consistentProperty method. This makes
it possible to make the return value for string types easier to
reason about. The return value of consistentProperty was previously
set to an empty static string to emulate a 'true' value for the caller
in commit 816b4a8a (cmTarget: Make consistentProperty
return consistent content., 2013-10-22). The pair makes the
consistency result properly typed.
Don't refer to 'both', but a 'mixture'. List all compatible interface
property types possible.
Add another test for a mixture of three compatibilities.
The include_directories() and add_compile_options() commands
should not append to the corresponding target property for IMPORTED
targets. This is already the case for add_definitions().
The modern way to create configuration dependent content is using
generator expressions in the main export file. The only non-deprecated
property still generated in the configuration-specific files are
IMPORTED_LOCATION_<CONFIG>
INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets have no location, and no need for those
files.
The next version is 3.0.0, not 2.8.13.
The version generated in the export file should be updated in
the release branch in both cmExportInstallFileGenerator and
cmExportBuildFileGenerator.

The <OBJECT_DIR> placeholder is supposed to be the base intermediate
files directory for the current target. This is how it gets replaced
during link line generation. However, during compile line generation
we replace it with the directory containing the current object file
which may be a subdirectory. Fix replacement of <OBJECT_DIR> in the
generated compile lines to be the base intermediate files directory.
This was expoxed by commit 42ba1b08 (VS: Separate compiler and linker
PDB files, 2013-04-05) when we added a "/Fd<OBJECT_DIR>/" flag to the
MSVC compile line in order to match the VS IDE default compiler program
database location in the intermediate files directory. For source files
in a subdirectory relative to the current target this caused the wrong
location to be used for the compiler program database. This becomes
particularly important when using precompiled headers.
While at it, use the cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory method to compute the
intermediate files directory for the current target instead of repeating
the logic in a few places.
