The write code introduced by commit 0b0d1b1d (add CMakeCache.txt
support, 2001-02-22) uses a temporary file but does not replace the
original atomically. Use cmGeneratedFileStream to do both
copy-if-different and atomic replacement.
set_property() has APPEND, which creates a list. E.g. when
appending to COMPILE_FLAGS a string is needed, not a list.
With the APPEND_STRING option the value is append as string,
not as list.

These mainly come from the command line or manual entries in the
CMakeCache.txt file. We want to stop at the first '=' because this is
what is most likely to have been meant. The variable can be quoted if
the '=' is intended.
Caveat: What if one wants both '"' and '=' in a variable name?
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The commit "Remove barely-used cmMakefile::AddCacheDefinition" removed
all but one use of the cmCacheManager method 'bool' overload. This
commit removes the other use and the entire method, thus reducing code
duplication.
This property defines a list of values for a cache entry of type STRING.
A CMake GUI may optionally use a drop-down selection widget for the
entry instead of a generic text entry field. We do not enforce that the
value of the entry match one of the strings listed.
This factors out duplicated code into reusable methods, thus simplifying
writing and reading of cache entry help strings, keys, values, and
properties.
This adds the CACHE option to set_property and get_property commands.
This allows full control over cache entry information, so advanced users
can tweak their project cache as desired. The set_property command
allows only pre-defined CACHE properties to be set since others would
not persist anyway.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
This introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables. Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them). Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
-cmCacheManager: now also variables with type UNINITIALIZED are saved in
CMakeCache.txt, these are the vars defined using -DFOO=foo but without type
