With our modern development workflow it is less likely a property will
be added to C++ code without documentation. This mode only existed to
support the DocTest which had very limited coverage of the properties
anyway.
Ensure CMAKE_DATA_DIR, CMAKE_DOC_DIR, and CMAKE_MAN_DIR are always
relative paths in CMake code, and set defaults accordingly. Use the
install() command instead of install_files() and install_targets().
This is more modern and also avoids stripping of the first character
from user-specified destinations.
While at it, fix the default destinations reported in the bootstrap
help.
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.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
