Update the CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_EXECUTABLE rule variable to invoke the
linker directly instead of through the compiler. We already do this
for DLL linking with CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY.
This also works around a VS 6 cl bug. While invoking the link tool
internally it fails to correctly quote flags like /pdb:... with spaces
in the value.
The MS tools create two types of PDB files as explained here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.71%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.80%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.90%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
One is created by the compiler (/Fd) and the other by the linker (/pdb).
The two options should not specify the same file. Split them up.
In the VS IDE generators, simply drop ProgramDataBaseFileName to
take the VS default "/Fd$(IntDir)vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb".
In the Makefile generators, set "/Fd" on the compile line to be
the directory containing object files (with a trailing slash the
compiler will add the "vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb" filename
automatically). Drop the /Fd option from the exe link command
line and add "/pdb" instead (already done for dll linking).
Update these rules for both MSVC and Intel tools.
Drop support for PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and PDB_NAME in STATIC
libraries because the generated .pdb files are only from /Fd
and not real linker-generated .pdb files. Update documentation to
clarify that the PDB_* properties are only for linker .pdb files.
This regresses the PDBDirectoryAndName test for STATIC libraries.
Since it is not clear at this time what should be done for STATIC
library .pdb files, comment out the relevant portion of the test
and leave a TODO comment.
This fixes bug #0013609, and is a possible solution to #0012864 as well.
The later will be completely fixed in another way. Both approaches
needs to be implemented because the current one is more automatic.

In commit 0c727b90 (install(EXPORT): Force absolute paths for usr-move,
2013-03-08) and commit d4774140 (configure_package_config_file: force
absolute paths for usr-move, 2013-01-24) we supported Linux
distributions implementing the "/usr move" by assuming that installation
to (/usr)?/lib(64)? represents a non-relocatable system package.
When cross-compiling one may prepare a package for installation into a
system location on a target machine but install the package files on the
*host* machine inside another path for use with CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
In this case the package development files must still be relocatable.
Handle "/usr move" with a new approach that works with relocatable
files. Teach configure_package_config_file and install(EXPORT) to
generate special logic in a package configuration file or targets file
for installation under (/usr)?/lib(64)?. Teach the file to recognize
when it is loaded through a symlink that refers to the same realpath as
its original install destination. In such a case, use the original
install prefix. Otherwise, compute the prefix relative to the current
file location to make it relocatable.
CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE can now be specified on a per-component
basis using CPACK_RPM_<componentName>_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE.

In VS IDE generators add a pre-build event to perform automoc instead of
using a separate custom target. This reduces the number of targets in the
.sln that need to be loaded by the IDE.
This also works around a VS 11 bug as discussed in issue 13900.

When called with a non-existent LHS target name the user may be trying
to add file-level dependencies. Clarify the error message to explain
the difference between target-level and file-level dependencies. Point
the reader at the commands and options needed for the latter.
Using XXX as name of the package is ambiguous, since it can be
interpreted as "ALLUPPERCASE" and also as "ExactCase (if the name
is already ALLUPPERCASE)".
After extensive discussion there is the conclusion that ExactCase
is intended, so using a CamelCased name makes that more obvious.

Modify add_jar to fully use named arguments, rather than cmake
variables, for specifying output names/directories, etc. For backward
compatibility, the old variables are still honored if set, although
named arguments will override them.
Modify add_jar to (partly) use cmake_parse_arguments, and to require
using the named argument list INCLUDE_JARS to specify jar files (or jar
targets) to use as dependencies when creating a jar. This preserves the
ability to have such, while restoring the historic behavior that jar
files listed as sources are ignored. (The code now explicitly ignores
them, however, rather than adding them to an unused local variable, so
that it is more clear that nothing is being done with them.)
In GNU.cmake, -isystem is not used if APPLE is set. However, Clang has
pretty much always supported -isystem, so we should always use it.
In the future, GNU.cmake should do a version check to see if -isystem is
supported.
The commit to add the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION in qtbase.git
is 14054d45 (Set the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION to 5., 2013-03-16)
which will be part of Qt 5.1.0.
If there is a Qt 5.0.3 release, there is no guarantee it will
contain that commit. Make sure such a Qt version does not fail
with this test if not.
We can do this check only if the TargetName is non-empty, which means
that we're evaluating INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES from a linked
dependency which was set using target_link_libraries.
It is possible to have relative paths in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES already
in CMake 2.8.10.2, so that part will require a policy to fix.
