We will no longer support full documentation generation from executables
and will instead generate documentation with other tools. Disable (with
a warning left behind) the command-line options:
--copyright
--help-compatcommands
--help-full
--help-html
--help-man
Drop supporting code. Drop manual sections generation from executables.
Remove internal documentation construction APIs. Drop unused sections
See Also, Author, Copyright, Compat Commands, Custom Modules.
Move the cmake::ExecuteCMakeCommand static method and all the static
methods it calls out of the 'cmake' class to a separate 'cmcmd' class.
Build the latter as part of the main cmake executable with cmakemain.cxx
and not in CMakeLib. Drop unused header includes from "cmake.cxx".
By moving this implementation out of cmake.cxx we avoid carrying it
around in all the executables that use class 'cmake'. It is needed only
for the main "cmake -E" functionality.
Pass the original file handles to the native tool when using the
--use-stderr option in the build command. This enables the
usage of advanced terminal features like colored output.
Remove the old "nocwd" behavior that attempts to provide the "--help"
output when no working directory is available. The long help output
scrolls the real error message out of typical terminal sizes. Also
execute as little code as possible when no working directory exists.
This patch adds a man section number, which is then used by the
DocumentationFormatterMan. The section number is right now always 1,
detecting this from the file name will be the next step.

This modifications set tries to keep the unified doc for cmake/ctest/cpack
while introducing tool specific documentation separated.
Some documentation sections for CMake do not fit well to CPack.
The '-E build build_dir' command was created and documented, but then
morphed into '--build build_dir' instead, ... and then the -E documentation
was never removed. This commit fixes that oversight.

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This cleans up the 'cmake --build' command-line interface:
- Rename --clean to --clean-first to better describe it.
- Replace --extra-options with a -- separator to simplify passing of
multiple native build tool options.
- Document the options in the main CMake man page description of the
--build option, and shares this with the usage message.
- Require --build to be the first argument when present.
- Move implementation into cmakemain where it belongs.
-generate and install the policy documentation files
-generate and install the docbook files for cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake (cmake-gui not yet ?)

to other formats.
Tested with meinproc from KDE, which generates HTML pages which look good.
