Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
This reverts commit 2c3654c3de.
The removal of some tests added in commit 77cecb77 (Add includes and compile
definitions with target_link_libraries., 2012-11-05) are also squashed
into this commit.
Projects set interface requirements upstream, and existing
downstreams use of target_link_libraries will consume those interfaces.
This can create a backward compatibility concern as the result may
be changing the order of include directories of downstreams, or another
side-effect of using the INTERFACE properties.
Provide a way for them to emulate the behavior of a version-based
policy in the config file.
This way the name of the searched package can be accessed in find-modules,
config-files and more importantly in generated target export files.
This is now used when a target export file detects that a required
target does not exist.
Alex
If a config-file sets <package>_FOUND to FALSE, it can now give a reason
using the variable <package>_NOT_FOUND_MESSAGE, which is used by cmFindPackage
and FPHSA.
Alex
When loading a find module or package config file the find_package
command defines several variables to provide information about the
caller's request. Previously this was documented only in the
Modules/readme.txt file which is not distributed. Document the
behavior explicitly in the main find_package documentation.
This patch adds documentation for OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS to cmFindPackage.cxx,
and also extends Modules/readme.txt significantly with regard to how
components should be handled.
Alex
Add an OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS keyword to find_package() so we can have a
clear distinction between required and optional components. Don't allow
a component to be both required and optional.
Alex
Before, find_package in Config mode always set Foo_FOUND to true if the
Config file has been found and could be executed.
If the Config file itself detected some problem, like a missing dependency,
it did not have a way to signal to the outside that the package is not working.
With this patch, if a Config file sets Foo_FOUND to FALSE, this is taken into
account and not overridden.
Alex
If in Config mode a configuration file could not be found, cmake printed
an error, but did not actually stop processing. With SetFatalErrorOccured
it does.
Alex
Define variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE for use by a project
that wants to use an explicit mode in every call to find_package in
order to generate more specific failure messages. Word the warning
using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them. Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

Explain exactly why CMake is looking for a package configuration file
and who is expected to provide what:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
By not providing "Find<pkg>.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH the caller
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"<pkg>", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "<pkg>"
with any of the names:
<pkg>Config.cmake
<pkg>-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "<pkg>" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
set "<pkg>_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
If "<pkg>" provides separate development package or SDK be sure
it has been installed.
The first paragraph explains how CMake is interpreting the intention of
the caller. This puts the blame or credit at the call site in the
project code where it belongs both when it is a bug and when it is
intentional. It can be dropped in NO_MODULE mode.

In commit 41c2895b (Added version support to Config mode of find_package
command, 2008-01-28) the error message was computed but was not
reported. Add the SetError call to report it.
All find_* commands re-root the list of paths and then add trailing
slashes. Factor this pair of calls out into a dedicated method. The
new method would be the only caller to AddTrailingSlashes, so subsume
that method into it.

This macro can be used to generate basic version files which can be
installed along a Config.cmake file to provide versioning support.
This (3rd try) is implemented using a macro, which maps
the COMPATIBILITY mode to a filename and configure_file()s the
resulting file.

Now found packages are not stored in ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES
anymore, but always in PACKAGES_FOUND/NOT_FOUND.
ENABLED/DISABLED_FEATURES is now only used via
ADD_FEATURE_INFO(), e.g. for stuff set via option().
Alex
As discussed, this adds a switch CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_<name>,
which, when set to TRUE, keeps the find_package() command from executing.
When the package is REQUIRED at the same time, an error is generated.
Alex
Implement support for multiarch as specified here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
Detect the <arch> part of <prefix>/lib/<arch> from the implicit library
search path from each compiler to set CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE.
Define CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE using one of these values (they should
all be the same). Teach the find_library and find_package commands to
search <prefix>/lib/<arch> whenever they would search <prefix>/lib.
The system package registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE which
has separate views for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Look in both
views, but prefer the architecture matching the build target platform.
Generalize the "user package registry" created by commit ed0650f6 (Teach
find_package to search a "package registry", 2009-09-01). Define a
corresponding "system" registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This
gives package installers a place to create a registry value that points
at the right location for find_package() to locate the package.
Delete only REG_SZ entries that are specifically detected to point to
invalid paths. This will allow future versions to add other value types
for different purposes.
Some find modules call find_package recursively to locate a package
configuration file for the package instead of searching for individual
pieces. Commit 79e9b755 (Help recursive find_package calls in modules,
2008-10-03) taught find_package to forward the version number and EXACT
arguments through the recursive call automatically. Do the same for the
component list.
Delay computation of the command documentation until it is needed.
It is wasteful to do it in the constructor on every call.
