ENH: Switched order of slash and configuration name in cmGlobalGenerator::AppendDirectoryForConfig method to increase flexibility.

BUG: Fixed generation of VS8 solution file to not be re-written when loaded by VS and to work with msbuild.

BUG: Fixed cmTarget::GetFullPath to not append the configuration name when only one configuration is built.  It now asks the generator what subdirectory if any to use for a given configuration name.

fix many bugs related to target names being computed inconsistently.

- Centralized computation of a target's file name to a method in
  cmTarget.  Now that global knowledge is always available the
  *_CMAKE_PATH cache variables are no longer needed.

- Centralized computation of link library command lines and link
  directory search order.

- Moved computation of link directories needed to link CMake targets
  to be after evaluation of linking dependencies.

This also removed alot of duplicate code in which each version had its
own bugs.

This commit is surrounded by the tags

  CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-pre

and

  CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-post

so make the large set of changes easy to identify.

ENH: Added support for parallel builds in VS 8.  There is now a special target on which all other targets depend that re-runs CMake if any listfiles have been changed.  This addresses bug#2512.

ENH: Add a way for the generated command to include extra flags. This is useful for CTest (or try compile) to add -j2

ENH: Generator now creates a separate intermediate files directory for each target.  This is needed for MSVC 8 to support parallel builds.

BUG: Added space after /clean to avoid putting it together with the build configuration.  This fixes the failure of the complext test on the second run in the same tree.

COMP: Converting INSTALL->ALL_BUILD dependency implementation to use the AddUtility method on a target.  This significantly simplifies the implementation and removes warnings about hiding virtual functions.

ENH: Added dependency from INSTALL target to ALL_BUILD target so that targets build before being installed.

ENH: Updated implementation of custom commands.  Multiple command lines are now supported effectively allowing entire scripts to be written.  Also removed extra variable expansions and cleaned up passing of commands through to the generators.  The command and individual arguments are now kept separate all the way until the generator writes them out.  This cleans up alot of escaping issues.

BUG: CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION should be obtained from the cmMakefile instance for the listfile containing the TRY_COMPILE call, not the top level listfile.

BUG: make sure global generate is done when cmakelist file chagnes, also make sure guids are stored in the cache so the .sln file does not change every time
