Use CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION instead of calling the compiler. This macro
predates those useful variables. This also fixes the issue that g++ version
detection was not working if C language was not enabled.
35c48e1 Check*.cmake: Expand imported targets in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
61cb4ea bootstrap: move while() and endwhile() into the bootstrap build
c9f2886 -don't pull in CheckTypeSize.cmake from the cmake which is being built
628f365 -remove trailing whitespace
Add the function cmake_expand_imported_targets() to expand imported
targets in a list of libraries into their on-disk file names for a
particular configuration. Adapt the implementation from KDE's
HANDLE_IMPORTED_TARGETS_IN_CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES which has been in
use for over 2 years. Call the function from all the Check*.cmake
macros to handle imported targets named in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.

A lot of the libraries won't be found by default so will spit out
all sorts of errors. Don't kill QT_LIBRARIES_PLUGINS altogether as
it is sometimes useful.
The Borland compiler was re-branded as CodeGear during 2007-2009 and
since 2009 is the Embarcadero compiler. They offer predefined macros:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Predefined_Macros
and distinguish themselves by __CODEGEARC__ and __CODEGEARC_VERSION__.
Version 6.30 (C++Builder XE) changed the meaning of some flags:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/C%2B%2B_Compiler_Option_Changes_for_XE
Teach Embarcadero compiler information files to generate build rules
with flags matching the compiler version. Leave the flags unchanged
for old Borland versions. Always set the BORLAND toolchain indicator
for compatibility with existing projects that test it. Also set the
EMBARCADERO indicator for newer toolchains.
The GenerateExportHeaders test was failing on one machine, the version
could not be determined there, so the _gcc_version was empty,
so the first argument to if() was empty, so it complained:
http://open.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=135623436&build=2016288
Use double quotes to turn the non-existant first argument into an empty
string.

Since we know which compiler we have we can test those OpenMP flags first that
are likely to be correct. This doesn't make any difference for GNU compilers,
but it should avoid useless try_compiles and output cluttering for all others.
