Automate with:

git grep -l '#include <cm_' -- Source \
  | xargs sed -i 's/#include <\(cm_.*\)>/#include "\1"/g'

git grep -l '#include <cmsys/' -- Source \
  | xargs sed -i 's/#include <\(cmsys\/.*\)>/#include "\1"/g'

git grep -l '#include <cm[A-Z]' -- Source \
  | xargs sed -i 's/#include <\(cm[A-Z].*\)>/#include "\1"/g'

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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Each source file has a logical first include file.  Include it in an
isolated block so that tools that sort includes do not move them.

All compilers hosting CMake support the std class.

The [usually] wrong usage of absolute DESTINATION in INSTALL rules
keeps popping-up on the ML. We shall have some way to:
  1) easily detect it.
  2) forbids this for some CPack generator like NSIS
In fact it should certainly be forbidden for *any* generators
when used on Windows but we may implements that on top of the current
patch.
The patch ask the task to the generated cmake_install.cmake scripts.
Those scripts are a little bit more complicated with that but
iff there are absolute DESTINATION. This cost nothing if relative
DESTINATION are used.
Two new vars are introduced (and documented to handle that):
CPACK_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
and
CPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION

CPackNSIS will only warn but sooner or later it should error out

The multi-argument CompressFiles(...) method has been replace by the
no-argument PackageFiles() method and 3 more member variables.  This
will enable implemention of multi-package generators.  Now each specific
generator (which overloads PackageFiles()) may decide to change the name
and/or the number of generated package files.

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License.  We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked.  We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.

Details:
==========

 - New cpack_add_component, cpack_add_component_group, and
cpack_add_install_type "commands" defined as macros in the CPack
module.
 - Documentation for all of the variables and commands in the CPack module.
 - Added get_cmake_property(... COMPONENTS) to CMake to ask for the
names of all components. Used in the CPack module to automatically
build component-based installers. (Set CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL to
turn off component-based installation).
 - A group can declare its PARENT_GROUP, to build an arbitrary
hierarchy of groups.
 - New CPack command cpack_configure_downloads, which creates an
installer that downloads only the selected components on-the-fly.
Those components marked DOWNLOADED will be separate packages
downloaded on-the-fly (or, all packages can be marked as such with the
ALL option to cpack_configure_downloads). Individual components are
compressed with ZIP at installer-creation time and
downloaded/uncompressed by the installer as needed. This feature is
only available on Windows with NSIS at the moment.
 - NSIS installers can install themselves and enable the "Change"
button in Add/Remove programs, allowing users to go back and install
or remove components. This can be disabled through
cpack_configure_downloads, because it's only really useful is most of
the application's functionality is in downloaded components.
 - Bug fix: automatically install everything whose COMPONENT was not
specified (it's a hidden, required group)
 - Bug fix: fixed removal of components when re-running the NSIS
installer and unchecking components
 - Bug fix: NSIS installers now only install/remove the minimal
number of files when re-run to update the installation (or by clicking
"Change" in Add/Remove programs)

ENH: Add patch for feature request #6847 - CPack components for NSIS and PackageMaker installers. Thanks to Doug Gregor for all the hard work involved with implementing this patch! Also added new test CPackComponents that is conditionally executed only when NSIS or PackageMaker installer builders are available.
