Commit dac78148 (...makes the mingw cross compiler work out of the
box..., 2007-08-02) added to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH and
CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH paths like "/bin" and "/lib" with no Windows
drive letter so that cross-compiling to Windows from Linux would search
these paths under CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH. Later commit 2a782880 (...use
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH when possible, 2008-01-16) generalized this
approach by instead adding "/" to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH.
Both commits assumed that the paths would never match anything on
Windows hosts without a drive letter. However, Windows evaluates these
paths relative to the current working drive letter so find_* commands
may report paths like "/lib/..." when paths like "c:/lib/..." exist on
what happens to be current drive. Such drive-less paths are not
reliable when the working drive changes, so we should not use them.
Fix WindowsPaths.cmake to add '/' to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH only when
cross-compiling to Windows from a non-Windows host. This will avoid
searching and finding local paths without a drive letter on Windows.
In commit 236133e7 (Handle targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of try_compile,
2013-02-09) an error return case was added without closing the file in
progress. Add the missing fclose() call.

In commit 0c727b90 (install(EXPORT): Force absolute paths for usr-move,
2013-03-08) and commit d4774140 (configure_package_config_file: force
absolute paths for usr-move, 2013-01-24) we supported Linux
distributions implementing the "/usr move" by assuming that installation
to (/usr)?/lib(64)? represents a non-relocatable system package.
When cross-compiling one may prepare a package for installation into a
system location on a target machine but install the package files on the
*host* machine inside another path for use with CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
In this case the package development files must still be relocatable.
Handle "/usr move" with a new approach that works with relocatable
files. Teach configure_package_config_file and install(EXPORT) to
generate special logic in a package configuration file or targets file
for installation under (/usr)?/lib(64)?. Teach the file to recognize
when it is loaded through a symlink that refers to the same realpath as
its original install destination. In such a case, use the original
install prefix. Otherwise, compute the prefix relative to the current
file location to make it relocatable.
In VS IDE generators add a pre-build event to perform automoc instead of
using a separate custom target. This reduces the number of targets in the
.sln that need to be loaded by the IDE.
This also works around a VS 11 bug as discussed in issue 13900.

When called with a non-existent LHS target name the user may be trying
to add file-level dependencies. Clarify the error message to explain
the difference between target-level and file-level dependencies. Point
the reader at the commands and options needed for the latter.
Using XXX as name of the package is ambiguous, since it can be
interpreted as "ALLUPPERCASE" and also as "ExactCase (if the name
is already ALLUPPERCASE)".
After extensive discussion there is the conclusion that ExactCase
is intended, so using a CamelCased name makes that more obvious.
