Similar to ECLIPSE_EXTRA_NATURES which can be used to add a third party
nature to the .project, this property offers the possibility to inject
third party contents into the .cproject.
An example of where this is useful is MCUXpresso. This is an IDE based
on Eclipse. Compiling through CMake generated Eclipse projects works
fine by using a custom toolchain. However, in order to be able to debug
using such a project, an extra storageModule specific to the target
board is needed in the cproject.
Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.

Suppress AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC on files generated by Qt4 wrapping macros;
particularly, those generated by `qt4_wrap_cpp`, `qt4_wrap_ui`, and
`qt4_add_resources`. None of these should need AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC
treatment, and CMP0071 makes it important to mark this explicitly.
Create a CPack generator that uses `nuget.exe` to create packages:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/what-is-nuget
NuGet packages could be easily produced from a `*.nuspec` file (running
`nuget pack` in the directory w/ the spec file). The spec filename does
not affect the result `*.nupkg` name -- only `id` and `version` elements
of the spec are used (by NuGet).
Some implementation details:
* Minimize C++ code -- use CMake script do to the job. It just let the
base class (`cmCPackGenerator`) to preinstall everything to a temp
directory, render the spec file and run `nuget pack` in it, harvesting
`*.nupkg` files...;
* Ignore package name (and use default paths) prepared by the base class
(only `CPACK_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY` is important) -- final package
filename is a responsibility of NuGet, so after generation just scan the
temp directory for the result `*.nupkg` file(s) and update
`packageFileNames` data-member of the generator;
* The generator supports _all-in-one_ (default), _one-group-per-package_
and _one-component-per-package_ modes.
In commit v3.11.0-rc1~433^2~1 (Add support for IMPORTED GLOBAL targets
to be aliased, 2017-09-14) we accidentally dropped the error on calling
`add_library` to alias an imported target that is not globally visible.
The `add_executable` command's equivalent check was properly updated.
Restore the check in `add_library` with the same update. Also fix the
test case accordingly.
Fixes: #17982
This change reworks ctest_start() so that simply calling
ctest_start(APPEND) will read all the information from the TAG file.
On top of that, it relaxes the argument parsing for ctest_start() to
allow greater flexibility in the argument ordering, and the documentation
for ctest_start() has been cleaned up.
Summarize the command signatures in one block at the top of the
documentation as is typical in Unix command-line tool manuals.
Make the mode keywords links to the corresponding full signature
and documentation.

The "undefined behavior" that the install(EXPORT) command warned about
was simply the possibility of build errors (or other errors) if the
referenced targets aren't installed. As long as the referenced targets
are installed, this won't be an issue.
* Introduce `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION` and the corresponsing components:
`CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR`, `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR`,
`CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH` and `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_TWEAK`.
* `CPack` module use `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR`,
`CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR` and `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH`
to initialize corresponsing CPack variables.
This is primarily a cleanup of the cpack(1) page. The cpack.cxx file
and CPack module were also updated to make the docs relating to
the generator specification and option names consistent in all
three places.
