This module was added by commit v2.6.0~1489 (...supporting embedded
compilers..., 2007-07-02) to avoid needing to build the compiler id
detection source on toolchains that need special flags or linker files
to produce executables. Since then CMake has learned other ways to
identify such compilers (e.g. passing vendor-specific version flags and
checking for vendor-specific banners in the output). Furthermore, CMake
now detects a lot more than just the compiler id during language
initialization in order to support things like <LANG>_STANDARD and
COMPILE_FEATURES. Therefore CMakeForceCompiler is no longer a viable
approach because it skips such detection.
One remaining challenge to support toolchains that require special
linker files is to build the test for a working compiler, compiler ABI
detection binary, and other try_compile cases. This will have to be
worked out as such cases are encountered.

Do not produce "{optgroup=GhsCommonOptions}" in the generated .gpj
files. The flag was added originally to match an old project file, but
it does not seem necessary and is not compatible with all GHS versions.
Unset CMAKE_MODULE_PATH before calling find_package(Git) to ensure we do
not get a project-provided FindGit module that may not provide the
GIT_VERSION_STRING that we need. We do not need to restore the value
explicitly because this occurs inside the _ep_add_download_command
function call scope.
Refactoring in commit v3.4.0-rc1~77^2~1 (ExternalProject: Use
GIT_VERSION_STRING instead of custom method, 2015-09-17) forgot
to update the variable name used in an error message.

Set a cmLocalGenerator on each instance at compute time. That will
soon be needed to access cmGeneratorTarget instances.
If a cmExportBuildFileGenerator is processed early during configure time as a
result of CMP0024 it must be removed from the list to process later at generate
time.
Add new API for the subdirs command to cmState.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit f716460e (cmMakefile: Move
invokation to initialize snapshot., 2015-10-06).
The change made by commit v3.4.0-rc1~342^2 (Factor an <INCLUDES>
placeholder out of <FLAGS> in rule variables, 2015-07-13) affects an
internal interface. Since it is commonly used by projects anyway, add a
release note covering the change in placeholders.
