CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.
cmcldeps wraps cl and adds /showInclude before calling cl.
It parses the output of cl for used headers, drops system
headers and writes them to a GCC like dependency file.
cmcldeps uses ATM ninja code for process handling,
but could be ported later to SystemTools.
TODO: Why needs ninja multiple calls in the BuildDepends test?
Header files listed in a target's PUBLIC_HEADER or similar properties
are marked as OS X Framework content. Refactoring performed by
commit 11d9b211 (Add cmGeneratorTarget to represent a target during generation, 2012-03-07)
commit 45c2f932 (Simplify cmMakefileTargetGenerator using cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-03-07)
commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source classification, 2012-03-19)
and related commits accidentally removed such files from treatment as
normal header files by the VS generator (generators other than Makefiles
and Xcode). Move handling of such files out of cmGeneratorTarget and
back to cmMakefileTargetGenerator. The central cmGeneratorTarget
classification will always treat them as header or extra sources.
Refactoring in commit a2514f15 (Simplify cmNinjaTargetGenerator using
cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-03-13) accidentally removed mapping of .def file
paths through ConvertToNinjaPath (via GetSourceFilePath). Take the
ModuleDefinitionFile value from cmGeneratorTarget and map it correctly
through ConvertToNinjaPath.
In addition to generating cleaner paths in the ninja build files this
correctly links up references to a generated .def file with the custom
command output that produces it.

Also, start using the -MT flag to set a target name for depfiles.
This works around a bug observed in distcc, as explained in the
comment. Based on a patch by Alexander Usov.
Implement cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects in the Ninja generator
to pre-compute all the object file names. Use the results during
generation instead of re-computing it later.
The confluence of the ninja-generator and target-include-directories
branches conspired to produce a nice little compiler error when
they were both merged into 'next'...
Yay for Continuous dashboards!
Generally these are only required in build statements, as Ninja wants
to be able to chop paths up. But it doesn't hurt to also try to use
them in command line arguments.
