If CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is set to devenv, then GenerateBuildCommand
uses it just like we used to do for VS8 and VS9. Otherwise, it
still uses MSBuild.
This will let us run the CMake test suite through devenv and make
sure all the solution and project files we generate are load-able
and build-able by the VS 2010 IDE, not just MSBuild.

Previously this was used only in multi-configuration generators to
choose the configuration of try_compile and try_run at their build time.
Teach CMake to honor the variable in single-configuration generators as
the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
Factor out generation of SccProjectName, SccLocalPath, and SccProvider
from cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStart and call it from
cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStartFortran too.
On Windows platforms source files may contain '\' in include directives:
#include "a\b.h"
Normalize these while scanning to use forward slashes. CMake will
convert from forward slashes to the direction preferred by the native
build tools when writing the path to 'depend.make' files.
Show "<variable|string>" explicitly in if() case documentation whenever
auto-dereferencing occurs. Reference its presence from the explanation
at the bottom.
The signature of get_test_property uses argument order
test property VAR
not
test VAR property
Also document the actual behavior when the property is not found.
Some values simply cannot be escaped properly in all contexts for all
native build tools. Document known limitations after the disclaimer
that states so.
Previously the error message for code like
add_executable(myexe does_not_exist/mysrc.c)
mentioned only that "mysrc.c" is not found. Report the directory too.
Remove the example explained by the misleading phrase "CMake will treat
it as if you wrote". This was originally added by commit a73071ca
(modified the if command to address bug 9123 some, 2009-06-12). Later
related information elsewhere in the documentation was corrected and
made precise by commit cb185d93 (Fix if() command and CMP0012 OLD/NEW
behavior, 2009-10-27) but the misleading example was not corrected.
Replace the example with a correct one that more directly covers the
case that typically surprises newcomers. Avoid recommending a "correct"
way to write code because this behavior is always specific to each case.
Also update the main documentation of the behavior to be more explicit.
Previously the Xcode generator would rerun CMake only if input file
dependencies in the top-level directory changed. Teach it to depend on
input files from all directories. Other generators already do this.

Explicitly state up front that the source-file form of the command links
an executable and expects a 'main' to be defined. While at it, update
the command signature documentation to use a syntax more consistent with
other commands. Also tweak some wording.

Although the LOCATION property is for compatibility with CMake 2.4, the
LOCATION_<CONFIG> property is modern. However, if a project reads it
and sets location-altering properties later the behavior is undefined.
