Brad King 882f48e5ba Link libraries by full path even in implicit directories
When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by
full path.  However, some projects had problems on platforms where
find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really
wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by
accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link.

We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library
to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by
returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories.  This
caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a
full path.  We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (...
switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l,
2008-01-31).  However, the special case for libraries in implicit link
directories has also proven problematic and confusing.

Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path
even if they are in implicit link directories.  Explain in the policy
documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to
this approach.

This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything.  To add a test:

1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.

2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
   test directory name ``<Test>``.

3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::

    include(RunCMake)
    run_cmake(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_cmake(SubTestN)

   where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
   corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.

   One may also add calls of the form::

    run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)

   to fully customize the test case command-line.

   Alternatively, if the test is to cover running ``ctest -S`` then use::

    include(RunCTest)
    run_ctest(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_ctest(SubTestN)

   and create ``test.cmake.in``, ``CTestConfig.cmake.in``, and
   ``CMakeLists.txt.in`` files to be configured for each case.

4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::

    cmake_minimum_required(...)
    project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
    include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)

   where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal.  A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
   will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
   sub-test.

5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
   above containing the actual test code.  Optionally create files
   containing expected test results:

   ``<SubTest>-result.txt``
    Process result expected if not "0"
   ``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
    Regex matching expected stdout content
   ``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
    Regex matching expected stderr content, if not "^$"
   ``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
    Custom result check.

   Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
   test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
   The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables

   ``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
    Top of test source tree
   ``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
    Top of test binary tree

   and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
