VS 6 forgets to create the output directory for a static library if it
differs from the intermediate files directory. We work around this VS
bug by creating a pre-link event on the library target to make the
directory.
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.
In cmLocalVisualStudio6Generator we generate pre-build, pre-link, and
post-build events into project files. This refactors the generation
code for the three event types into a private EventWriter class to avoid
duplicate code.
add_custom_target() as COMMAND, and cmake will recognize them and replace
them with the actual output path of these executables. Also the dependency
will be added automatically. Test included.
ENH: moved TraceVSDependencies() to the end of GlobalGenerator::Configure(),
so it is done now in one central place

- Fixed CollapseFullPath to work on relative paths with base paths
not in the current working directory.
- INCLUDE command now supports relative paths (using above fix).
- Added ABSOLUTE option to GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT command to
unwind symlinks and relative paths.
- Fixed libName_EXPORTS macro definition to be valid C identifier.
- Added DEFINE_SYMBOL target propterty for customizing the export symbol.
- Implemented LINK_FLAGS target propterty for libraries in VC6 and VC7.
Several of these fixes were contributed by Gareth Jones.
