and elaborate.

Brad King 7abd574798 cmake: Add '-E env' command-line tool
Extend the cmake command-line interface to support

 cmake -E env [--unset=NAME]... [NAME=VALUE]... COMMAND [ARG]...

This will be useful to run processes with modified environments
without using a shell or a full "cmake -P" script to wrap it.

Extend the RunCMake.CommandLine test to cover success and failure cases.

Brad King f88332f5b7 Help: Glob manual/*.rst in Sphinx configuration
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.

Brad King c076476d7d cmake: Drop "cmake -E comspec" Win9x helper
Since we dropped Win9x support there is no need for this helper.

Brad King bcd5de775a cmake: Always pass through stdout/stderr in --build mode
Enable the --use-stderr behavior by default and ignore the old option.
Passing through the pipes allows color terminal output and other things
to work as if one ran the native build command directly.

Brad King a8226e91d7 cmake: Drop support for "-i" wizard mode
Tell users to pass cache values with the -D option on the command line
or use cmake-gui or ccmake.

Brad King 9b212ad01a Make --help-* options available from all command-line tools
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools.  Drop options that are no longer supported:

  --copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
  --help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules

De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.

Brad King 5dde65ac5b Help: De-duplicate manual/(cmake|ccmake).1.rst build options
Move common build options out of cmake and ccmake manuals into an
OPTIONS_BUILD.txt file and include it from the original locations.

Brad King ae944d176e Help: Organize manual/*.1.rst sections
Add "Synopsis", "Description", and "See Also" manual page section
headers.  These are typical of .1 man section pages.  Also de-duplicate
the See Also section links using a separate LINKS.txt file included from
each manual.

text generated by the automatic conversion process.  Drop it.
