Brad King 7cbab17871 Change version scheme to use only two components for feature levels
Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component.  Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:

 <major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
 <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>]     = Development

This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:

* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
  ${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
  so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.

* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
  CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
  have caused confusion.

Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:

 <major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
 <major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>]   = Development

People will be tempted to put things there for convenience, thereby
causing conflicts similar to

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35162/focus=35169

where it is conceivable that the LLVM developers could put a flag on
a target for convenience, which would cause conflicts for some downstreams.

Chuck Atkins 17485e37a2 FindBoost: Add suport for custom namespaces
When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention.  This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost.  If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo.  Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.

variable documentation by referencing the main variable.

Include information about how to compare version strings.  Also add
an historical note about the version scheme used prior to commit
v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow,

Brad King ccc8704777 Help: Add documents to collect notes between releases
Add a release/dev.txt file and include it from release/index.rst in
development versions.  Add a "Changes Since Release" section with a
toctree that globs adjacent "dev/*" documents.  Add a sample topic
document explaining how topic-specific release note documents work.

This approach will allow developers to write release notes for their
changes as they are made.  The release manager may then consolidate and
organize the notes for a specific release version.

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.
