ENH: -if no compiler has been found, don't test it, and also remove the compiler
information file again. This makes optionally enabling a language work
better.

- The short-hand forms do not document the NO_* options.
- CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0 accepted them accidentally, but also
treated the options as paths.
- Now the options are accepted but do not become paths.
- The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and similar variables have both
environment and CMake cache versions.
- Previously the environment value was checked before the
cache value.
- Now the cache value is favored because it is more specific.
- Hints are searched after user locations but before system locations
- The HINTS option should have paths provided by system introspection
- The PATHS option should have paths that are hard-coded guesses
- Locating a header inside a framework often requires globbing
- Previously the glob was <dir>/*/Headers/<name>
- Now the glob is <dir>/*.framework/Headers/<name>
- This is much faster when <dir> is not really a framework dir
- CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK and CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE are supposed to specify
whether to find frameworks/appbundles FIRST, LAST, ONLY, or NEVER.
- Previously this affected only the placement of CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH with respect to the other path specifiers.
- Now it behaves as documented. The entire search path is inspected for
each kind of program, library, or header before trying the next kind.
- Additionally the ONLY mode is now honored for headers so that users
do not end up with a library in framework and a header from elsewhere.
- In cmFindBase when CheckCommonArgument returns true, set newStyle
- Otherwise if there are no PATHS then the ancient-style compatibility
mode is enabled and the common argument is treated as a path.
- Add each part of the search order in a separate method.
- Collect added paths in an ivar in cmFindCommon.
- Move user path storage up to cmFindCommon and share
between cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand.
- Expand user path registry values up in cmFindCommon
- Enables 32-/64-bit registry view for find_package
- Disables registry expansion for paths not specified
with the PATHS argument, which is not expected.
- cmFindBase should search both 32-bit and 64-bit registry views
for FIND_PROGRAM even if CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P is not set.
- Needed because the variable is not available when CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
is to be found.
- The rule hash should use only commands specified by the user.
- No make output (echo and progress) rules should be included.
- No outputs or dependencies need be included. The native build tool
will take care of them.
- Option was recently added but never released.
- Custom commands no longer depend on build.make so we do
not need the option.
- Rule hashes now take care of rebuilding when rules change
so the dependency is not needed.
- In CMake 2.4 custom commands would not rebuild when rules changed.
- In CMake 2.6.0 custom commands have a dependency on build.make
which causes them to rebuild when changed, but also when any
source is added or removed. This is too often.
- We cannot have a per-rule file because Windows filesystems
do not deal well with lots of small files.
- Instead we add a persistent CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt file
at the top of the build tree that is updated during each
CMake Generate step. It records a hash of the build rule for
each file to be built. When the hash changes the file is
removed so that it will be rebuilt.
- The target platform does not matter for finding executables
so find_program should expand to both 32-bit and 64-bit registry
values.
- See issue #7095.
- Add an argument to registry read/write/delete methods to specify
a 32-bit or 64-bit view.
- Default is the bit-ness of the running program.
- See issue #7095.
- Revert previous change to trust user-provided full paths.
- Instead trust them only far enough to determine the source language
but still check for existence for non-generated sources.
- Create MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST target property to specify template.
- Look for MacOSXBundleInfo.plist.in in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH by default.
- See issue #6983.
the generator on the first configure. It either ask for a toolchain file
or asks for all the information a toolchain file might contain.
Also added option for setting non-default compilers if not cross compiling.
Fixes#6849.
Also a bit of code cleanup and re-organizing.
- Tells CMake about the KWSYS_HEADER macro.
- Enables implicit dependencies of private source files.
- When a CMake new enough to support the property is required
the "#if 0" hack can be removed from the source files.
- Allows make rules to be created with no dependencies.
- Such rules will not re-run even if the commands themselves change.
- Useful to create rules that run only if the output is missing.
-generate and install the policy documentation files
-generate and install the docbook files for cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake (cmake-gui not yet ?)

- Previously this was done implicitly by the check for a target
link language which checked all source full paths.
- The recent change to support computing a link language without
finding all the source files skipped the implicit check.
- This change adds an explicit check to find all source files.
the argument after -Wno-dev was skipped, which happened to be the source
directory, and so the current working directory was assumed as source
directory, although it was the build directory (maybe this didn't have an
effect if there was already a CMakeCache.txt in the build dir)
Alex
- Previously all links started in 'command_' which led to conflicts
and was confusing for non-command items.
- Use a per-section name that is meaningful to humans.
- Fix link id names to be valid HTML.
- CMake 1.8 and below did not do the check but could get in
infinite loops due to the local generate step.
- CMake 2.0 added the check but failed to perform it in directories
with no targets (see bug #678).
- CMake 2.2 removed the local generate which fixed the problem but
did not remove the check.
- Between CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0rc6 the check was fixed to work even
when no targets appear in a directory (see bug #6923).
- Bottom line: the check is no longer needed.
