We've chosen to drop our default dependence on xmlrpc. Thus we disable
the corresponding CTest submission method and remove the sources for
building xmlrpc locally. Users can re-enable the method by setting the
CTEST_USE_XMLRPC option to use a system-installed xmlrpc library.
This version of curl was added experimentally but does not address the
problem we were hoping it fixed (an occasional upload hang). Importing
a new curl can wait until the problem is fully diagnosed and addressed.
We use a custom command to run 'cmake-gui --help...' to generate the
documentation for the application. Since this is a Qt application, the
executable must find the Qt DLLs in order to run. As a convenience, if
QtCore4.dll appears next to qmake.exe, we put its location in the PATH
environment variable when running the custom command on Windows.
Older GCC on the Mac warns for use of long double, so we use
-Wno-long-double. Newer GCC on the Mac does not have this flag and
gives an error. We now check for the flag before using it.
See bug #7357.
Utilities/cmcurl/CMake provides macros with the same file names and
macro names as others in Modules, but with different interfaces. We
rename the curl ones to avoid conflict.
-generate and install the policy documentation files
-generate and install the docbook files for cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake (cmake-gui not yet ?)

major issues:
-access() doesn't return false for an empty string (#ifdefed in cmake)
-dlopen() doesn't return 0 on failure (#ifdefed in cmake and fixed now in Syllable)
-the kwsys and Bootstrap tests fail with timeout due to the fact that I'm doing all that in qemu, which is quite slow
-RPATH is now supported, so without modifying the test adapting DLL_PATH in Syllable is required for the tests to succeed
-the Plugin test fails with an undefined reference to example_exe_function() in example_mod_1, it seems this isn't supported under Syllable
