the cmake run and add macros print_enabled/disabled_features() and
set_feature_info(), so projects can get a nice overview at the end of the
cmake run what has been found and what hasn't
FIND_PACKAGE() automatically adds the packages to these global properties,
except when used with QUIET
Maybe this can also be useful for packagers to find out dependencies of
projects.

FindThreads.h
BUG: improve CheckC(XX)SourceRuns.cmake so that it works with cross
compiling, the return value has to go in the cache but shouldn't overwrite
the actual return value, and it should go only in the cache if we have a
result from try_run() otherwise we won't get here again if we have a result
later on
Alex
-add /usr/openwin/include and /usr/openwin/lib to the default search paths
-add /${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/(lib|bin|include) to the default cmake search
paths -> this should help users who install stuff in their home
Alex
-remove the unscriptable commands also from the cpack cmake
-use CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT in CMakeCPack.cmake, it's used in the nsis and
the deb generator
-make set_properties() scriptable
-use a non-const char array for adding the python modules

Additionally the makefile in cmCPackGenericGenerator is now protected
instead of private, so with these two changes the cpack generators should
now be able to find their tools and how to call these tools from cmake
scripts, instead of hardcoding the search order and command line (as done
e.g. in cmCPackZIPGenerator.cxx)
Alex
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(), so cmake modules can specify their own
better failure messages. If the default is ok use "DEFAULT_MSG".
Do this also for FindBoost.cmake (#5349)
Alex
variable is already added to the cache inside cmTryRunCommand.cxx, so the
value used here was ignored. Additionally the INTERNAL made it internal,
which shouldn't be done when cross compiling, since here the user is
required to edit this variable manually e.g. using ccmake.
Alex
two-step priority (None or Prefered)
Current order: ASM 0, C 10, Fortran 20, CXX 30, Java 40
This is the same order as automake choses:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/How-the-Linker-is-Chosen.html
This change should be backward compatible:
if there is a project using fortran and CXX, they had to set the
LINKER_LANGUAGE explicitely, otherwise cmake complained (but still generated
the project files). Explicitely setting the linker language still overrides
automatic detection.
If somebody has a custom language for cmake and the PREFERENCE starts with
"P", its changed to 100, which gives it preference over all other languages
(except the other custom languages which have also "Prefered"). "None" is
converted to 0.
Alex
compiling an executable (amd thus cannot build the compiler-id program)
easier by providing CMAKE_FORCE_XXX() macros which force cmake to use the
given compilers anyway
