 * \brief Superclass for all commands in CMake.
 *
 * cmCommand is the base class for all commands in CMake. A command
 * manifests as an entry in CMakeLists.txt and produces one or
 * more makefile rules. Commands are associated with a particular
 * makefile. This base class cmCommand defines the API for commands 
 * to support such features as enable/disable, inheritance, 
 * documentation, and construction.
