If the absolute install(EXPORT) destination for the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
used during configuration is under (/usr)?/lib(64)? then assume the
current build is for a system package installation instead of a
relocatable distribution. Generate an absolute path for _IMPORT_PREFIX
in the target exports file instead of generating code to compute the
value relative to the file location. This is necessary for
distributions implementing a move to /usr such as:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:usrlib
"All files in the /lib directory have been moved to /usr/lib and now
/lib is a symlink to usr/lib."
The relative path computation is not reliable because the targets file
could be installed through cross-prefix a symlink and loaded without it
or vice versa.
A similar change was made for package configuration file generation by
commit d4774140 (configure_package_config_file: force absolute paths for
usr-move, 2013-01-24).
If a target is exported, and a library it depends on is not part
of the same export set, before this patch cmake errored out.
With this patch, it now checks whether the missing target
is exported somewhere else exactly once, and accepts in this
case (because then it can determine the namespace for the
missing target and use this).

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.
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
