Refer users to the newer CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION variables.
Use a more concise summary. Format the documentation to look
better in the "cmake --help-module" output.
When Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS is ON we may complain that Boost libraries
cannot be found even when shared libraries are present. Update the
error message to tell the user explicitly that we want static libraries.

Through use of libarchive internally we support .zip files as well as
.tar format. The ExternalProject module makes use of this feature.
Document support officially.
Expose the internal system information API to the CMake language. For
example, it is useful to see how much memory the system has available to
estimate an upper limit of tests that can run in parallel.
Document the logic that parses for backward compatibility the old
variables that were used to control add_jar prior to named argument
support. In particular, document that the reason this logic exists is
for backward compatibility, and that new features do not need to add to
it.
This fixes#14210. In 2.8.10 CMakeDetermineCompiler.cmake was
modified (or added), and now the _INIT variable must not
be set to a list anymore, before it worked.

Each call to AddDefinition has overhead for variable watches and such.
Avoid extra calls when not needed.
This decreases the configure time for ParaView by 10 seconds on my
machine. Without the change about 1,000,000 set-to-empty calls were
being made. After the change it drops to about 100,000.
The SHA512_Update implementation accesses input data via 64-bit
integers. This requires alignment of the input buffer on some
architectures. Align our stack-allocated buffer for file content to
satisfy this requirement.
Even with the NMake Makefiles generator, it is not able to properly
clean up after the test.

Internal cmake changing into directory: C:/Dashboards/My Tests/CMake-nmake10-x64-continuous/Tests/WarnUnusedCliUnused

Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file or choose a different binary directory.
Describe explicitly the scope in which enable_language must be
invoked to handle all direct and indirect uses of a language.
While at it, re-word documentation of the OPTIONAL keyword to
avoid confusion over its partial implementation.
For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and
for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like
set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang")
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
or
set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s.
