In VS 6, 7, and 7.1 solutions we implement
add_dependencies(myexe mylib) # depend without linking
by creating an intermediate mylib_UTILITY target with dependencies
myexe -> mylib_UTILITY -> mylib
to avoid linking myexe to mylib. Previously these extra targets were
only added to the solution files in an ancestor directory of that
defining mylib. For example, in the project:
# CMakeLists.txt
project(TOP)
add_subdirectory(A)
add_subdirectory(b)
# A/CMakeLists.txt
add_library(mylib ...)
# B/CMakeLists.txt
project(B)
add_executable(myexe ...)
add_dependencies(myexe mylib)
the solution for TOP would have mylib_UTILITY but the solution for B
would not even though it pulls in mylib through the dependency. This
commit fixes solutions generated in other directories so that any
solution that has mylib will get mylib_UTILITY also.
See issue #9568.
We move cmGlobalVisualStudio7Generator::OrderedTargetDependSet up to
cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator so it can be re-used for other VS
versions. See issue #9568.
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.

A protected GetIDEVersion method retrieves the version-specific part of
the key name.
