The parent commit added a warning message whenever a required file
does not exist.
As it turns out, the "required" files never exist when built with
Visual Studio Express editions. Add a variable to suppress these
warning messages because only packagers or naive includers of
this file will care to see such warning messages.
We want to warn about this condition by default so that people who
are using InstallRequiredSystemLibraries without understanding it
fully will have a chance of understanding why it's not working in
the event of missing required files.
But we also want to give projects the ability to suppress this warning
(by "project's choice default") so that they can encourage users who
are restricted to using an Express edition to build their project.
Packagers should explicitly use...
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS=OFF
...when building releases. That way, their release build process will warn
them about any missing files, but only if their project CMakeLists files
use a construct similar to CMake's:
IF(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS)
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS ON)
ENDIF()
Thanks to "J Decker" on the CMake mailing list for pointing out
that one of the MSVC10_CRT_DIR settings was using "VC90" instead
of "VC100".
After fixing that, I added the code to generate a CMake warning
if one of the files we think is "required" does not exist.
Then, with VS10, there were several other problems that the
warning revealed:
- MSVC10_REDIST_DIR needed more PATHS to be found correctly
- the 64-bit directory is named "x64" now, not "amd64" as in
previous VS versions
- manifest files no longer exist as separate files in the
redist subdirectories (they must be built-in as resources
to the dlls...?)

Control the root directory of the default directory presented to
the end user of an NSIS installer by a CPack variable.
Previously, the value used in the NSIS script was $PROGRAMFILES,
which is equivalent to the "ProgramFiles" environment variable.
That default value is still the same, but now a project may
override the value by setting this new variable.
Introduced an additional variable, Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS, to both
FindPythonLibs and FindPythonInterp. Changed FindPythonInterp to loop
over versions rather than hardcoding all versions (more like libs).
Commit aaa88d33 (Build large archives incrementally, 2008-08-04)
hard-coded rules to create static archives incrementally in each
language information file. Set each rule conditionally to allow
compiler and platform information files to override the language
default rules.

Unset VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT when executing a command whose output
is being logged to a file. Previously, running Microsoft tools
in sub-processes of Visual Studio would send their output to
the Visual Studio output pipe named by this environment variable.
Unsetting it forces the output back to the normal stdout and stderr
channels where cmake can intercept it and direct it to the
appropriate log files.
MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN is frequently used with NSIS and provides a checkbox
on the finish page of an installer which specifies whether the specified
executable should be run when the installer exits. This commit adds support
for this setting in CPack.
NSIS installers default to assuming the executables exist in a
directory named "bin" under the installation directory. As this
isn't usual for Windows programs, the addition of this variable
allows the customization of this directory and links still to be
created correctly.
Add support to InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to only install
debug libraries when both debug and release versions are available.
This is as if you are building a debug package then only the debug
versions are needed but not the release.
InstallRequiredSystemLibraries currently defaults to installing to
bin on WIN32 and lib otherwise. This patch allows you to configure
this by using the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_DESTINATION.
It also switches the logic to use a single INSTALL(PROGRAMS) command
rather than two deprecated uses of the INSTALL_PROGRAMS command.
In InstallRequiredSystemLibraries the documentation details the
variable CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RULES to skip installation. This
actually doesn't do anything, the variable required is named
CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP. This commit amends the
documentation to point to the correct variable.

This puts the new search behaviour for included files in action, i.e.
now when a file from Modules/ include()s another file, it also gets the
one from Modules/ included, i.e. the one it expects.

Since commit 70c2dc8a (Make compiler id detection more robust,
2008-03-10) we store compiler identification strings in test binaries
using the form
char* info = "info";
Use the const-correct
char const* info = "info";
form instead. This allows the C++ compiler identification to work with
"-Werror -Wall" or equivalent flags if the compiler would warn about
const-to-non-const conversion.
The TI DSP compiler predefines "__TI_COMPILER_VERSION__". Use this to
identify the C and C++ compilers. For assembler language the C compiler
executable is used:
$ cl6x -h

Use this command-line option and output to recognize the assembler.
The Mac linker defines flag -headerpad_max_install_names but not all
front-ends recognize the flag and pass it through (many did in the past,
such as the Apple port of GCC). Use the -Wl, option prefix to tell
front-ends to pass it through without trying to interpret it.
