Historically CMake has always expanded ${} variable references in the
values given to include_directories(), link_directories(), and
link_libraries(). This has been unnecessary since general ${}
evaluation syntax was added to the language a LONG time ago, but has
remained for compatibility with VERY early CMake versions.
For a long time the re-expansion was a lightweight operation because it
was only processed once at the directory level and the fast-path of
cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString was usually taken because values did
not have any '$' in them. Then commit d899eb71 (Call
ExpandVariablesInString for each target's INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
2012-02-22) made the operation a bit heavier because the expansion is
now needed on a per-target basis. In the future we will support
generator expressions in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with $<> syntax, so the
fast-path in cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString will no longer be taken
and re-expansion will be very expensive.
Add policy CMP0019 to skip the re-expansion altogether in NEW behavior.
In OLD behavior perform the expansion but improve the fast-path
heuristic to match ${} but not $<>. If the policy is not set then warn
if expansion actually does anything. We expect this to be encountered
very rarely in practice.

0bbae6f Revert "Move GetLinkInformation to cmGeneratorTarget"
d5cf644 Split link information processing into two steps.
d8a59ea Port cmGeneratorExpression to cmTarget from cmGeneratorTarget.
Add a dummy mainCRTStartup() function, since the linker searches for
it instead of main() and set the CMAKE_SYSTEM_* variables depending
on the MSVC_C_ARCHITECTURE_ID and CMAKE_VS_WINCE_VERSION variables.
Parse the WCE.VCPlatform.config file, which contains the installed
WindowsCE SDKs in XML format, and add possibility to generate
Visual Studio generators for them.
When adding more platforms to the Visual Studio generators a simple
regular expressing can not handle all cases anymore. This new
define holds the name of the Visual Studio target platform.
Modern apps that use multiple threads do NOT want 10 Megabytes of RAM
per thread being used for each thread's stack... Just leave off the
/STACK: argument, and let the compiler use a reasonable default value
for the stack size.
If existing single-threaded apps require the /STACK: argument because
they do need a very large stack size, they can add the flag in their
own CMakeLists files.
add_custom_command can have empty DEPENDS arguments, which
was triggering invalid makefile generation for the NMake
Makefiles generator. We were mistakenly emitting the build
directory appended with "/" plus the empty string... which
was then translated to a string ending in \" in build.make...
which nmake choked on.
The solution is not to emit any dependency when the input
DEPENDS is the empty string. Return early from GetRealDependency
in this empty input case.
