OpenBSD shared libraries use a ".so.<major>.<minor>" extension and do
not have a symlink with just a ".so" extension. Its "ld" is capable of
finding the library with the best version. This change adds support for
finding such libraries. See issue #3470.
To locate the boost include directory, all search paths and versioned
path suffixes should be passed to one call of FIND_PATH. Previously the
test for one version would find an unversioned system boost even when
the user set BOOST_ROOT (since the NO_DEFAULT_PATH option is not used).
See issue #7456.
Make the number of version components specified explicitly available.
Set variables for unspecified version components to "0" instead of
leaving them unset. This simplifies version number handling for find-
and config-modules. Also support a fourth "tweak" version component
since some packages use them.
A Mac OS X Framework should provide a Resources/Info.plist file
containing meta-data about the framework. This change generates a
default Info.plist for frameworks and provides an interface for users to
customize it.

Qt3 and Qt4 cannot be used together in one project.
Now Qt3/KDE3 and Qt4/KDE4 handle the case that this is done nevertheless
properly, i.e. they fail with FATAL_ERROR if it was REQUIRED and they fail
with just MESSAGE(STATUS ...) and RETURN() if it was not REQUIRED
BUG: make FindQt4 error out with FATAL_ERROR also if it was searched QUIET

STYLE: this file is mostly uppercase commands, so make all commands
uppercase
ENH: add a status message in case pkgconfig didn't find the package (sync
with the one from KDE)

Compiler INFO strings built at preprocessing time encode information
that must appear as a string literal in the resulting binary. We must
make sure the strings appear in the final binary no matter what compiler
and flags are used. The previous implementation worked in most places
but failed with the GNU linker's --gc-sections option which managed to
discard the string. Instead we make the program return value depend on
an element of the string indexed by a runtime program parameter, which
absolutely requires the string to be present.
Creation of archive libraries with the unix 'ar' tool should be done
incrementally when the number of object files is large. This avoids
problems with the command line getting too many arguments.
