Several more recent Visual Studio Express editions are now available and
they support debug builds. Simplify our VS platform files by removing
support for these old tools. If anyone still uses them we can restore
support with a more modern way to test for them.
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.

f90223c Fix KWStyle warning
47f0dbd CPack add necessary check to detect/warns/error on ABSOLUTE DESTINATION
6ba055b CPack add easy possibility to warn about CPACK_SET_DESTDIR
CMAKE_xxx vars are now used in the CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
script while CPACK_xxx equivalent vars are used from within CPack.
CPack is responsible for getting/forwarding definitions of
CPACK_xxxx var corresponding to CMAKE_xxxx when invoking
CMake-generated install scripts.
As a consequence:
CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
may be used from outside CPack as well.
e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=1 -P cmake_install.cmake
works as expected.
This allows downstreams to use
set(CMAKE_WIN32_EXECUTABLE ON)
set(CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE ON)
to create executables with the WIN32_EXECUTABLE and MACOSX_BUNDLE
properties set on by default.

Define variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE for use by a project
that wants to use an explicit mode in every call to find_package in
order to generate more specific failure messages. Word the warning
using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them. Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

automoc now defaults to strict mode, also with Qt4, i.e. it behaves as

CMAKE_AUTOMOC_STRICT_MODE to CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE.
Docs and test adapted accordingly.

Teach CMakePlatformId.h to construct an "INFO:compiler_version[]" string
literal from macros COMPILER_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH|TWEAK) to be
defined in CMake(C|CXX)CompilerId.(c|cpp) for each compiler. Provide
conversion macros DEC() and HEX() to decode decimal or hex digits from
integer values. Parse the version out of the compiler id binary along
with the other INFO values already present.
Store the result in variable CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION in the format
"major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]". Save the value persistently in
CMake(C|CXX)Compiler.cmake in the build tree. Document the variable for
internal use since we do not set it everywhere yet.
Report the compiler version on the compiler id result line e.g.
The C compiler identification is GNU 4.5.2
Report CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_(ID|VERSION) in SystemInformation test.
Teach the Windows-GNU.cmake platform file to look for Visual Studio
tools matching the target ABI. Add an extra step to the link command
for shared libraries and executables that export symbols and on which a
new GNUtoMS property is set (initialized by the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option).
Tell the GNU linker to output a module definition (.def) file listing
exported symbols in addition to the GNU-format import library (.dll.a).
Pass the .def file to the MS "lib" tool to construct a MS-format DLL
import library (.lib).
Teach the install(TARGETS) command to install the MS import library next
to the GNU one. Teach the install(EXPORT) and export() command to set
the IMPORTED_IMPLIB property pointing at the import library to use the
import library matching the tools in the importing project.
Load platform files named in CMAKE_<lang>_ABI_FILES for each language
once the ABI sizeof(void*) is known. During the first configuration
this is after the test for working compiler and ABI detection checks.
During later configurations the ABI information is immediately available
because it has been saved in CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake.
Define variable CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES to initialize the
value of this property when a target is created. This allows authors
to write
set(CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES "")
to disable transitive linking to implementation dependencies of shared
libraries on platforms where it is possible.
Define a "Fortran_FORMAT" target and source file property. Initialize
the target property from a "CMAKE_Fortran_FORMAT" variable. Interpret
values "FIXED" and "FREE" to indicate the source file format. Append
corresponding flags to the compiler command line.
Since commit 85c0a69a (Cygwin: Do not define 'WIN32', 2010-12-17) WIN32
is not defined on Cygwin. Update documentation of the WIN32 variable
accordingly.
Implement support for multiarch as specified here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
Detect the <arch> part of <prefix>/lib/<arch> from the implicit library
search path from each compiler to set CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE.
Define CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE using one of these values (they should
all be the same). Teach the find_library and find_package commands to
search <prefix>/lib/<arch> whenever they would search <prefix>/lib.
