Help: Factor out COMPILE_DEFINITIONS disclaimer duplication
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the reStructuredText include directive.

Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escaping
|
||||
certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but some values
|
||||
may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a value does not seem
|
||||
to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to work-around the problem by
|
||||
adding escape sequences to the value. Your work-around may break in a
|
||||
future version of CMake that has improved escape support. Instead
|
||||
consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file. Then
|
||||
report the limitation. Known limitations include::
|
||||
|
||||
# - broken almost everywhere
|
||||
; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
|
||||
, - broken in VS IDE
|
||||
% - broken in some cases in NMake
|
||||
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
|
||||
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
|
||||
some cases. Use with caution.
