The Makefile is a configure-time concept, and the LocalGenerator
is a generate time concept. The LocalGenerator should not be available
from the Makefile.

At least some versions (e.g. C++ Builder 5) of the bcc32 linker are known to
write temporary files with a constant name to the current directory (e.g.
"turboc.$ln"). (This can be verified by using Process Monitor to watch the
file writes that bcc32 / ilink32 / implib make). This causes problems with
some generators that keep a constant current directory and run concurrent
linkers.
For example, the Ninja generator, by default, always has the current directory
set to the top of the build tree - resulting in conflicts between the linkers
that are simultaneously trying to write to "turboc.$ln". Symptoms include
direct errors regarding the "turboc.$ln" file, or later build steps failing due
to corrupted output from previous links that happened to link "successfully."
This is not a problem for the Borland Makefiles generator which does not
run jobs in parallel. For the Ninja generator, work around this problem
by using a link job pool of size 1.
The Concurrent Fortran compiler (ccur.com) is available on Linux and can
be used much like the GNU Fortran compiler. Currently it has no
preprocessor symbols to identify it so we need to detect it by matching
compiler output.

Some compilers can only be distinguished by their compilation output
rather than preprocessor symbols or special flags. Add infrastructure
to determine the compiler id by matching output.
Callers of CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID initialize the
CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID to unset so we can check it at the end of each
loop iteration instead of the beginning. This approach allows us to
break out of the loop as soon as we succeed. It will also allow checks
to be added in more places within the loop later.
Teach CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID to optionally try detecting the
compiler id using some given flags before trying to detect it with no
special flags. This will be useful for Fortran detection to distinguish
some compilers that use the preprocessors of others but have no macro of
their own by getting verbose output.
Teach the module to handle SYSCONFDIR and LOCALSTATEDIR properly if
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to `/` or `/usr` -- i.e. as expected by GNU
Coding Standard (i.e. set SYSCONFDIR to `/etc` and `LOCALSTATEDIR` to
`/var`). Also if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to /opt/pkg, `SYSCONFDIR`
must be set to `/etc/opt/pkg` and `LOCALSTATEDIR` to `/var/opt/pkg`
according to FHS.
Add a RunCMake.GNUInstallDirs test with cases covering various install
prefixes. Hard-code the architecture information. Tolerate all
platform-specific LIBDIR values.
Currently the root prefix is not handled well, but verify the current
behavior in the test anyway. This can be addressed with a future
change.
