VS2010 uses IntDir as the location for writing log files for
what happens during custom build steps. With no IntDir settings,
all ExternalProject usage within the same CMakeLists.txt file
would result in multiple utility targets all trying to use the
same custom build log files.
With parallel builds, they would try to use them simultaneously
and result in file access errors, preventing the builds from
completing successfully.
Now each utility target has its own IntDir setting, and so, its
own custom build rule log files.
The solution seems hackish, but it works: for
NMake only, prepend a no-op command before each
real command that begins with ".
This is really a work-around for an NMake problem.
When a command begins with ", nmake truncates the
first argument to the command after the first :
in that arg. It has a parsing problem.
Workaround..., hackish..., but it should solve
the issue for #9963 and its related friends.
Also, modify the CustomCommand test to replicate
the problem reported in issue #9963. Before the
NMake specific code change, the test failed.
Now, it passes. Ahhhhhh.
The SetError method automatically starts the message with the name of
the command. Fix up calls to it so that we get "file DOWNLOAD..."
instead of "file FILE(DOWNLOAD ...". Also reduce length of long lines
containing these calls.
Since commit bc43b0f2 (Do not link library dependencies in VS solutions,
2009-10-20) CMake disables for VS >= 8 linking of a target to libraries
that happen to be listed as solution-level dependencies. Therefore we
can list the direct dependencies of each target in the solution file and
let VS handle transitive dependencies automatically.
Factor out reading of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
into cmMakefile::GetConfigurations. Read the former only in
multi-config generators.

This work was started from a patch by Thomas Schiffer.
Thanks, Thomas!
See the newly added documentation of the FOLDER target
property for details.
Also added global properties, USE_FOLDERS and
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER. See new docs here, too.
By default, the FOLDER target property is used to organize
targets into folders in IDEs that have support for such
organization.
This commit adds "solution folder" support to the Visual
Studio generators. Currently works with versions 7 through
10.
Also, use the new FOLDER property in the ExternalProject
test and in the CMake project itself.
