cmMakefile.cxx, but now in the platform files and are now valid for the
target platform, not the host platform.
New variables CMAKE_HOST_WIN32, CMAKE_HOST_UNIX, CMAKE_HOST_APPLE and
CMAKE_HOST_CYGWIN have been added in cmMakefile.cxx (...and have now to be
used in all cmake files which are executed before
CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake is loaded). For compatibility the old
set is set to the new one in CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake and reset before the
system platform files are loaded, so custom language or compiler modules
which use these should still work.

conversion of hex and srec files to binary.
Without this automatic conversion, everywhere where a compiled file is parsed for strings the
a file(HEX2BIN somefile binfile) command has to be added otherwise it will
not work for these compilers. I tried this with DetermineCompiler and
CheckTypeSize and nobody will do this except the users who work with such
compilers. For them it will break if they don't add this conversion command
in all these places.
If FILE(STRINGS) is used with a text file, it
will in most cases still work as expected, since it will only convert hex
and srec files. If a user actually wants to get text out of hex files, he
knows what he's doing and will see the hint in the documentation.
Anyway, it should work without having to create a temporary file, will work
on this later.
