At this point, it is an interface to the cache. It will be extended
to be a universal interface for access to and manipulation of
configuration-time data (defintions, properties on targets,
directories, source files etc).
This will allow porting all command implementations away
from the cmMakefile and cmTarget classes, and result in something
more-purely related to configuration-time processing of cmake
commands. That should serve at least the following goals:
* Split the CMake implementation more definitively into three
stages: Configuration, computation and generation, and be able to
implement each optimally for memory access patterns etc.
* Make better IDE integration possible by making more configuration
data available.
* Make it possiblte to use a smaller library than CMakeLib.a in
cpack and ctest, resulting in smaller executables.
* Make it possible to run the configure step multiple times in
the same CMake run (#14539).
Manage its lifetime in the cmake class, and add a convenience accessor
to cmMakefile.
This is for consistency with other CMake access interfaces such as
definitions and properties which use a null value as a 'not present'
value. It is source compatible with existing callers, and it returns
a pointer into actual real cache entry storage.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.

VS 2013 originally claimed to support initializer lists but a bug was
found in which it generated bad code silently. For this reason we
previously considered support to not be present. However, Update 3 adds
a hard error on cases that previously generated bad code, so it is now
safe to use initializer lists with VS 2013 Update 3 or greater. At
worst a compiler error will be issued in the cases that do not work, but
that is no different from any other compiler-specific workaround a
project code may need.
The only reason this failed to compile on VS 2013 was because the
compiler uses different initializer_list constructor argument types than
our dummy implementation. The standard does not specify the non-default
constructor argument types for initializer_list. Use a template to
match any two-arg constructor a compiler might select (e.g. begin/end or
begin/len). Use #error to preserve the error on VS 2013.

RPM, DEB and archive packages were not created
in cases when CPACK_<generator>_COMPONENT_INSTALL
was set to ON and a single component existed.
Patch also changes CPackRPM test to implicitly
test for this case.
