The unit test for this fails with GNU 4.6:
Building CXX object CMakeFiles/test_cxx_variadic_templates.dir/cxx_variadic_templates.cpp.o
CompileFeatures/cxx_variadic_templates.cpp: In static member function ‘static int Interface<I, Is>::accumulate()’:
CompileFeatures/cxx_variadic_templates.cpp:18:31: sorry, unimplemented: cannot expand ‘Is ...’ into a fixed-length argument list
CMakeFiles/test_cxx_variadic_templates.dir/build.make:54: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/test_cxx_variadic_templates.dir/cxx_variadic_templates.cpp.o' failed
The workaround is to use a specialization:

The macro is defined to 1 for GNU 4.6, and such a test is only
useful for features in language dialects newer than the
default (CXX98 for GNU currently).
Test only that it has a truthy value.
As this is not elseif(), the content has no effect.
Rather than changing it to an elseif(), remove the conditional content.
All versions of GNU prior to 5.0 default to C90/89.
Clang-C.cmake has a similar code block which correctly uses
elseif() for setting the default C dialect to C99. That may have
been updated from a C90 default at some point, so leave the
version condition there in place for now.
GNU-CXX already has complex logic and sets the _result to 0 before
tests which may set it to something else.
Change the other modules to be consistent with that.

The compiler in the PATH on mac is a stub for a different delegate
depending on the environment. Rather than requiring xcode-select to
change the used Xcode globally, users should be able to choose the
compiler per-session. That is possible with the DEVELOPER_DIR
environment variable.
However, the environment can change between running CMake and invoking
the build. In such cases, CMake prefers to record the relevant paths
from the environment and use them when invoking the build. That is not
currently done for the compilers on APPLE, so the compiler used is not
the one reported when running cmake:
$ DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode2.app/Contents/Developer/ cc --version
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.51) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
Thread model: posix
$ DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ cc --version
Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.38) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
Thread model: posix
Update that now by querying Xcode for the correct compiler path if
the compiler located by ordinary means is located in /usr/bin.
The second hunk of commit 07d1f6fc (Features: Properly evaluate if the
compiler supports cxx_final, 2014-12-31) was a workaround for a bug in
the COMPILE_FEATURES generator expression that caused it never to return
0. Revert the workaround so we can fix the bug instead.

This topic was merged to master prematurely, so remove it.
When installing, MSMPI puts a trailing backslash in the MSMPI_BIN
environment variable. This causes trouble when concatenating in CMake
since the list separator is now escaped and no longer a list separator
due to the trailing backslash. Instead, use file(TO_CMAKE_PATH) to make
the path CMake-friendly.
