Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
Most of these are turned into strings in the body of the method
(multiple times in some cases). Accept strings to simplify the API and
keep string construction down.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
More generally add the check for possible generator "activation" at
runtime depending on a generator specific check.
The dynamic behavior is currently implemented only for MacOS
and should be fully backward compatible for other system.

The [usually] wrong usage of absolute DESTINATION in INSTALL rules
keeps popping-up on the ML. We shall have some way to:
1) easily detect it.
2) forbids this for some CPack generator like NSIS
In fact it should certainly be forbidden for *any* generators
when used on Windows but we may implements that on top of the current
patch.
The patch ask the task to the generated cmake_install.cmake scripts.
Those scripts are a little bit more complicated with that but
iff there are absolute DESTINATION. This cost nothing if relative
DESTINATION are used.
Two new vars are introduced (and documented to handle that):
CPACK_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
and
CPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
For example, when CPACK_<GEN>_COMPONENT_INSTALL and
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL are both set. Previously, this
combination of variable settings produced an error without
any explanation. Now, in this case CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL wins
without trouble.
This is useful for when e.g. CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL is
globally on and one wants MONOLITHIC install for STGZ (but not
other generators). The same behavior may be obtained by re-setting
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to 0 but in any case the
'both set' case should have been handled without error.
Also allow generators to override the default packaging method.
Add a ONE_PER_GROUP option so that method can be specified by the user without relying on defaults.
RPM cannot easily 'merge' differents directory into a single RPM
with shared prefix. So more flexibility has been added to generic
CPackGenerator in order to let the specific generator chose the
local installation directory for each component.
This authorize more control because one can set
CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL to ON globally
and then set it selectively to OFF inside
a CPack project config file.
Sidenote: GetOption ought to be a 'const' method.
The multi-argument CompressFiles(...) method has been replace by the
no-argument PackageFiles() method and 3 more member variables. This
will enable implemention of multi-package generators. Now each specific
generator (which overloads PackageFiles()) may decide to change the name
and/or the number of generated package files.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
