    Deprecate "extra" generators in favor of cmake-file-api(7) · ef5a4d96
    Brad King authored
    The "extra" generators were created in CMake's early years to provide
    support for users of specific IDEs by directly generating their project
    files alongside make or ninja files.  Nowadays the file-api provides a
    more generic, maintainable, well-tested, and robust way for IDEs to view
    CMake project build trees.  Deprecate the legacy "extra" generators to
    encourage the corresponding IDEs to use the file-api.
