CMake 2.8.11-rc2 ready for testing!

• Introduced Target Usage Requirements
• Targets can specify usage requirements for their consumers such as include directories and preprocessor definitions; previously only link dependencies were supported
• target_link_libraries(myexe yourlib) can now build myexe sources with requirements specified by yourlib
• Added target_include_directories and target_compile_definitions commands with PUBLIC/PRIVATE/INTERFACE options
• See design and development discussion at                                                                                  http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Epics/CMake_target_usage_requirements

• Introduced a Generator Toolset selection for VS >= 10 and Xcode >= 3
• Tell the IDEs which compiler toolchain to use
• ex. Use VS 9 tools under VS 10: -G “Visual Studio 10” -T “v90”
• Introduced ExternalData Module
• Keep source trees lightweight by storing data separately
• Reference data unambiguously from source tree by content hash
• Fetch on-demand during build from local or remote resources
• CMake: Sublime Text Generator added that supports both Make and Ninja
• CMake: Added support for Texas Instruments C6 and up compilers
• CMake: Improve OpenBSD support
• CMake: Support for Windows CE with VS 8 and 9 generators
• CPack: Added Support for 64bit NSIS
• CPack: Added WiX Package Generator
• ExternalProject: Will run git fetch less often
• FindBoost: Major overhaul of searching and result caching
• FindCUDA: Now has support for separable compilation
• FindQt4: Overall improvements to finding Qt and importing targets
• FindSquish: Added support for squish 4
• GetPrerequisites: Port to MinGW with objdump
