When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention. This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost. If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo. Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.
Manually read through version control history since the 2.8.12.2
release and write release notes for important user-facing changes.

Starting with 3.0 we will use only two components for the feature level,
and policies are only ever introduced with a bump to the feature level
version.

Describe the meaning of each version component in more detail in the
documentation of CMAKE_VERSION. Simplify the per-component version
variable documentation by referencing the main variable.
Include information about how to compare version strings. Also add
an historical note about the version scheme used prior to commit
v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow,
2010-04-23).
Add a release/dev.txt file and include it from release/index.rst in
development versions. Add a "Changes Since Release" section with a
toctree that globs adjacent "dev/*" documents. Add a sample topic
document explaining how topic-specific release note documents work.
This approach will allow developers to write release notes for their
changes as they are made. The release manager may then consolidate and
organize the notes for a specific release version.
Add a release/index.rst document titled "CMake Release Notes" to hold
the toctree for release notes. Add a "Release Notes" section to the
top-level html document index to link to the new document.
The old documentation stated that "all header files" were considered,
which was not true for any sensible definition of "all header files".
Only header files with certain names are considered.
Document the filename patterns matched for parsing.

2739a6f9 Help: Move Qt tool invocation information to a generic cmake-qt manual.
Add an introduction about the use of different package types, and the
ability to use Qt 4 and 5 versions together in a single buildsystem.
Add a section about automatic linking of the qtmain.lib library and
how to disable it.
Teach the project() command to set variables
{PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}
holding the project version number and its components. Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.
Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

Teach the project() command to recognize an optional "LANGUAGES"
keyword after the project name and prior to the list of languages.
Do not allow multiple copies of the keyword. If the keyword is
specified and no languages are listed, imply NONE.
Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.
De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.
Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables. They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.
Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX. Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.
Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.
Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables. When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used. These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.
Define a new 'CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS' directory property that projects
can use to specify input files to the CMake configuration process.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure test to verify that the build system
re-runs CMake when this input changes.
