Move "extra" generators to their own section instead of duplicating them
for each corresponding main generator. Divide the list of main
generators into command-line and IDE sections and sort the names within
each section. Document the environment from which each kind of
generator may be used.
Add a section to each "extra" generator documenting which main
generators may be used with it.
Add a :maxdepth: option to all toctree directives to limit their depth
to 1. We do not want subheadings from individual documents to pollute
the already large lists of CMake Domain objects.
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value. This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.
Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
