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.
