find_package() now also stores the required version automatically, so it
can be used by FeatureSummary.cmake.
This was one of the requested features for setting up nightly builds
for KDE, since with this functionality it will be possible to write
a file at the end of each project which lists all required packages
and their versions. This file could then be compared for equality
with an older one and if something has changed the build maintainer
can be emailed.
In FeatureSummary.cmake there is now a new function feature_summary(),
which also allows to print the log to a file or into a variable.
It also allows to specify whether to append to a file or to write a new
one, and what information to log.
Docs are still missing.

although #9621 did not happen anymore with cmake 2.8.0, probably because
GET_PROPERTY(... GLOBAL ...) now makes the result variable empty instead of
simply not touching it, using FUNCTION() instead of MACRO() makes sure that
the _EnabledFeatures variables is always empty before the GET_PROPERTY()
call (and does not still have the old value from the previous call)

This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
the cmake run and add macros print_enabled/disabled_features() and
set_feature_info(), so projects can get a nice overview at the end of the
cmake run what has been found and what hasn't
FIND_PACKAGE() automatically adds the packages to these global properties,
except when used with QUIET
Maybe this can also be useful for packagers to find out dependencies of
projects.
