Add archives of these file types and add to the test
cases covered in the ExternalProject test.
Also add an "Example" directory in the Tests/ExternalProject
directory containing the canonical simplest example of
ExternalProject usage.
Improve FILE(DOWNLOAD ...):
- Add percent complete progress output to the FILE DOWNLOAD
command. This progress output is off by default to
preserve existing behavior. To turn it on, pass
SHOW_PROGRESS as an argument.
- Add EXPECTED_MD5 argument. Verify that the downloaded
file has the expected md5 sum after download is complete.
- Add documentation for SHOW_PROGRESS and EXPECTED_MD5.
When the destination file exists already and has the
expected md5 sum, then do not bother re-downloading
the file. ("Short circuit" return.)
Also, add a test that checks for the status output
indicating that the short circuit behavior is actually
occurring. Use a binary file for the test so that the
md5 sum is guaranteed to be the same on all platforms
regardless of "shifting text file line ending" issues.
Improve ExternalProject:
- Add argument URL_MD5.
- Add verify step that compares md5 sum of .tar.gz file
before extracting it.
- Add md5 check to download step, too, to prevent
unnecessary downloads.
- Emit a warning message when a file is not verified.
Indicate that the file may be corrupt or that no
checksum was specified.
Fixes issue http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10258
Also, fix complaint that DOWNLOAD_COMMAND cannot contain arguments
consisting entirely of upper case letters. It validly does when,
for example, you construct a custom cvs command line and the module
name is all upper case, like VTK.
(I accidentially removed ExternalProject.cmake from git by doing
mv ExternalProject.cmake ExternalProject.cmake.save
git checkout master
which I hoped would basically do a revert as it does with svn and cvs, but it
deleted the file from git)

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.
This teaches the ExternalProject module to check the download URL file
name. If it is not a tarball (.tar, .tgz, .tar.gz) it is an error
because UntarFile does not yet understand other archive formats.
This creates new module ExternalProject.cmake to replace the prototype
AddExternalProject.cmake module. The interface is more refined, more
flexible, and better documented than the prototype.
This also converts the ExternalProject test to use the new module. The
old module will be removed (it was never in a CMake release) after
projects using it have been converted to the new module.
