Visual Studio provides toolchains that are themselves built for 32-bit
or 64-bit host architectures. By default it uses the 32-bit tools, but
it can be told to prefer the 64-bit tools on 64-bit hosts. Extend the
`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` specification to provide a way to request
use of the 64-bit host tools.

The `-mwindows` flag is needed to avoid creating an additional console
window when starting SDL applications built with MinGW. There is no
`mwindows` library.

Fix passing a list to the CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS and CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS
options of ExternalProject_Add.
Following commit v3.7.0-rc1~273^2~1 (prefer list(APPEND) over
string(APPEND) where appropriate, 2016-08-08), the semicolon list
separator after the first list element was missing in the generated
cache.
The change in commit v3.7.0-rc1~513^2 (FindProtobuf: fix
protobuf_generate_*() to handle proto files in subdirs, 2016-06-09)
incorrectly adds subdirectories to the path of the generated files when
`*.proto` files are passed to `protobuf_generate_*` with subdirectories.
This behavior is not correct when `PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP_APPEND_PATH` is
True (default behavior) as `protoc` will generate output file in the
current build directory.
Add a module to manage the data needed for the project tests. It will
move the test data to the build directory and transfer necessary data to
an Android device if that is enabled.
On platforms that support shebang lines the `cxxtestgen` script should
be able to execute without an explicit interpreter. Do this if possible
so that the proper interpreter specified by the shebang line is honored.
Ideally we shouldn't even need to find `python` in this case, but that
will be a larger change better made by a dedicated module maintainer.

Update the toolset name matching added by commit v3.6.0-rc1~279^2~10
(VS: in Clang/C2 toolset, setup correct compiler settings, 2016-02-18)
to match VS/LLVM toolset names too.
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
The installer should not put up a message box to confirm uninstall of a
previous version for silent installs. Furthermore, when the uninstaller
is invoked, do not show its confirmation dialog because either (a) the
installer already asked the user or (b) the installer is running in
silent mode.
