Brad King f85405f551 Add reStructuredText (RST) documentation formatter
Temporarily add a RST formatter to convert builtin documentation to .rst
source files.  This will be removed shortly after we use it to convert
documentation.

Teach the RST formatter to:

* Output preformatted blocks as reStructuredText "::" literal blocks.

* Output option lists as bullet lists with option names enclosed in
  reStructuredText ``literal`` quoting.

* Output individual documentation objects (commands, variables, etc.)
  in separate .rst files organized in directories by type.

Replace references to cmVersion::GetCMakeVersion() in builtin
documentation with the literal placeholder "|release|" that will be
defined as a substitution later.

Alex Neundorf 20e133e38a man documentation: detect man section from the given filename
E.g. if you say cmake --help-custom-modules mymodules.7
cmake will now put section 7 into the generated manpage.

Alex Neundorf 38df155dd3 documentation: preparation for making the man section configurable
This patch adds a man section number, which is then used by the
DocumentationFormatterMan. The section number is right now always 1,
detecting this from the file name will be the next step.

Eric NOULARD a6bce55aef Dynamically add documentation section specified in documented script.
Modify CPackDeb and CPackRPM as an example

Eric NOULARD 02ccb3291b Create getDocumentedModulesListInDir which may be used in other context.
This should makes it easier to use the same "documented module"
techniques for CTest, CMake or user module.

Eric NOULARD 1629615a10 CPack Documentation extraction from CMake script begins to work
- Enhance extract doc parser. Seems robust now. The legacy
   module documentation parser works as before ignoring
   the new markup.

 - Proof of concept for CPack (generic), CPack RPM and CPack Deb
   generator for macro and variables.
   Try cpack --help-command and cpack --help-variables

Eric NOULARD 83e34dd9e6 Implement simple CMake script comment markup language.
The language is very simple. It use ##<keyword> special comment
which opens a structured documentation block and ##end closes it.
This may be used to extract documentation for macro as 'command'
and 'variables' such that cpack --help-command and --help-variable
does parse builtin modules files (CPack.cmake, CPackComponent.cmake,
...) in order to extract the corresponding doc.

Eric NOULARD c6a0169442 CPack begin the implementation of --help-command* and --help-variables*
This modifications set tries to keep the unified doc for cmake/ctest/cpack
while introducing tool specific documentation separated.
Some documentation sections for CMake do not fit well to CPack.

Brad King 96afb12087 Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD License
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.

Brad King 5a82a0b108 ENH: Improve generated documentation formatting
Applying patch provided in issue #7797.

Fixes to man-pages:
  - Character '-' must be espaced as '\-'
  - Surround preformatted text with '.nf' and '.fi' to adjust filling
  - Give every page a NAME section for indexing by mandb
  - Pass the man page filename without extension to .TH in its header

Also added a title to the HTML header.

Alexander Neundorf 969ea3f449 ENH: add support for creating the documentation in docbook format
(http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/), which users can then convert
to other formats.
Tested with meinproc from KDE, which generates HTML pages which look good.

Alexander Neundorf 31881265c7 ENH: add new help option --help-custom-modules, which generates
documentation for all modules found in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, which currently
has to be specified via -D, this can later on be improved e.g. by reading a
special (to-be-created) file like CMakeFiles/ModulePath.cmake in the build
tree so that running cmake help in the build tree of a project will always
give you the current module path. (This could actually also help IDEs which
would like to support cmake for projects...)

Alexander Neundorf 151d55557e ENH: generate separate documentation for the commands, compatiblity
commands, modules and properties as html, text and man pages.
The names of the man pages are cmcommands, cmcompat, cmprops and cmmodules,
so they are easy to type.

Alexander Neundorf c95dc91237 ENH:
-in the full documentation there is now an extra section for
compatibility commands, so users see which commands they shouldn't use
-cmake -h <command> now also works with lower case commands
--help-fullm --help-command, --help-module and --help-property now determine
the output format from the extension of the given filename

Let me know if there are some things I overlooked.
