this patch series aims to minimize deltas between the CMake Xcode
generator and Xcode itself. It was started by the observation that
if one makes any change to the project within Xcode (e.g. to see
how a variable is called internally) the user cannot diff the CMake
project and the one stored by Xcode afterwards.
Xcode keeps the objects ordered by the object id.
Because cmake stores them into an unordered container
at creation time they must be sorted before writing the
pbxproj file.
I tested this series with Xcode 6.3 and Xcode 3.2. Both show a
reduced diff after this series was applied.

1535dcd8 Tests: Teach RunCMake to optionally merge command output to stdout
When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by
full path. However, some projects had problems on platforms where
find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really
wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by
accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link.
We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library
to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by
returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories. This
caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a
full path. We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (...
switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l,
2008-01-31). However, the special case for libraries in implicit link
directories has also proven problematic and confusing.
Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path
even if they are in implicit link directories. Explain in the policy
documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to
this approach.
This is for consistency with other CMake access interfaces such as
definitions and properties which use a null value as a 'not present'
value. It is source compatible with existing callers, and it returns
a pointer into actual real cache entry storage.
Prefix test commands with the CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR property
for target executables. This allows test suites to be run on the host
when crosscompiling.
If the CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable is defined, and
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is TRUE, then use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to run
the try_run executables. This prevents the need to populate
TryRunResults.cmake when cross compiling.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.
* Re-order VS generators from newest to oldest.
* Show how to specify a VS generator with a target platform
* Increase the option output indentation to avoid extra wrapping
with longer generator names.
