Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
The result is that the depends of the target are created.
So,
add_library(somelib foo.cpp)
add_library(anotherlib EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
add_library(extra EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
target_link_libraries(anotherlib extra)
add_library(iface INTERFACE)
target_link_libraries(iface INTERFACE anotherlib)
Executing 'make iface' will result in the anotherlib and extra targets
being made.
Adding a regular executable to the INTERFACE of an INTERFACE_LIBRARY
will not result in the executable being built with 'make iface' because
of the logic in cmComputeTargetDepends::AddTargetDepend.
So far, this is implemented only for the Makefile generator. Other
generators will follow if this feature is possible for them.
Make INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets part of the all target by default.
Test this by building the all target and making the expected library
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.
Teach the VS 7-9 generators to honor the
VS_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK_VERSION
target property. This was already done for VS >= 10 by commit cfe6300a
(VS: Add support for .NET target framework version, 2013-06-14).

Drop use of cmSystemTools::RunCommand. It used popen on UNIX
(equivalent to /bin/sh -c "$command") and direct CreateProcess calls on
Windows. Implement equivalent behavior using the KWSys Process library.
Copy windows shortpath conversion logic from cmSystemTools::RunCommand.
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
Teach CMakeDetermineCompilerId to skip trying to build a .vfproj
file for Intel Fortran under Visual Studio 6. The msdev command-line
build produces a popup error dialog that hangs the configuration.
Enable the --use-stderr behavior by default and ignore the old option.
Passing through the pipes allows color terminal output and other things
to work as if one ran the native build command directly.
In generators such as Ninja that can run multiple "cl" processes that
refer to the same compiler .pdb file (/Fd) at the same time, MSVC from
Visual Studio 2013 complains:
fatal error C1041: cannot open program database '.../vc120.pdb';
if multiple CL.EXE write to the same .PDB file, please use /FS
According to "cl /?":
/FS force to use MSPDBSRV.EXE
Add the flag to compilation lines for this compiler version just after the
/Fd option.

The Intel Fortran 10 64-bit compiler incorrectly defines _MSC_VER to its
own version (1020) instead of the underlying MSVC tools version. Since
we expect the compiler to be used only with VS >= 7 tools, assume MSVC
version 13.0 if _MSC_VER is not greater than 1300.
Teach CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)CompilerId* to report the MSVC version
simulated by the Intel compiler, if any. Refactor the Windows-Intel
platform information helper module to load Windows-MSVC instead of
duplicating the information. Teach Windows-MSVC to understand when
it is loaded as the simulated Fortran compiler (its preprocessor is
simulated).
Lookup the Intel VS plugin version on demand in the VS global generator,
compute the corresponding .vfproj format version number, and memoize it.
Add it as a CMAKE_VS_INTEL_Fortran_PROJECT_VERSION platform definition.
These policies were introduced after 2.8.12 in anticipation of 2.8.13.
However, we've now decided the next release will be 3.0.0, so update the
version of introduction accordingly.
The full policy documentation was moved to Help/policy/*.rst by commit
f051814e (Convert builtin help to reStructuredText source files,
2013-10-15). We no longer need the builtin string literals.
In commit 87cc62ca (Drop "full" documentation output types, 2013-09-13)
we dropped code using the LongDescription field of policy definitions.
We need to follow it up with a change similar to commit 399e9c46 (Drop
builtin property documentation, 2013-09-16) to remove the policy
documentation. Do that now. Keep the short description as it is used
in policy error and warning messages.
This has not been allowed since they were introduced in
commit 91438222 (target_link_libraries: Add LINK_(PUBLIC|PRIVATE)
options, 2011-10-07), but allowing this form makes it more compatible
with the newer PUBLIC and PRIVATE keywords.
Teach the CMake language parser to recognize Lua-style "long bracket"
arguments. These start with two '[' separated by zero or more '='
characters e.g. "[[" or "[=[" or "[==[". They end with two ']'
separated by the same number of '=' as the opening bracket. There is no
nesting of brackets of the same level (number of '='). No escapes,
variable expansion, or other processing is performed on the content
between such brackets so they always represent exactly one argument.
Also teach CMake to parse and ignore "long comment" syntax. A long
comment starts with "#" immediately followed by an opening long bracket.
It ends at the matching close long bracket.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover long bracket and long comment
cases.
Read input files in binary mode instead of text mode and convert CRLF
newlines to LF newlines explicitly in our own buffer. This is necessary
to read CMake source files with CRLF newlines on platforms whose C
runtime libraries do not transform newlines in text mode. For example,
a Cygwin or Linux binary may not transform CRLF -> LF in files read from
a Windows filesystem. Perform the conversion ourselves to ensure that
multi-line string literals in CMake source files have LF newlines
everywhere.
Teach the lexer to read a UTF-8, UTF-16 BE/LE, or UTF-32 BE/LE
Byte-Order-Mark from the start of a file if any is present. Report an
error on files using UTF-16 or UTF-32 and accept a UTF-8 or missing BOM.
