Move deprecated or obsolete modules to the section
"Deprectated Modules" of cmake-modules(7):
- MacroAddFileDependencies (Text says: Using the macro
MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES() is discouraged.)
- UsePkgConfig (Text calls it "obsolete")
- Use_wxWindows (was already listed in deprecation section)
In each environment variable doc page, insert an opening
paragraph (ENV_VAR.txt) to say that this is an environment
variable, and provide a link to the cmake-language section
on environment variables.

Section "Variables References" said that environment and cache
variables are "evaluated in the same contexts as a normal variable
reference". The reader has to guess what "contexts" means in
this context. Probably "inside a Quoted Argument or an Unquoted
Argument", exactly as for ordinary variable references.
But this is exactly what the reader would tacitly assume anyway.
Therefore I think the removed clause was unnecessary, and possibly
more confusing than helpful.
Explain that the commands affect only the current CMake process,
not the process from which CMake was called,
nor the system environment at large,
nor the environment of subsequent build or test processes.

Before, the closely related signatures
$<condition:true_value>
$<IF:condition,true_value,false_value>
were explained in two different sections. The former section
was badly explained, with '0' and '1' in place of the formal
parameter 'condition'.
No need to save a few characters on formal parameters.
Use this occasion to correct $<PLATFORM_ID:comp>:
the parameter is a platform_id, not a compiler_id.
