BUG: Make sure search paths never have double-slashes.  Leading with two slashes (//) on cygwin looks like a network path and delays while waiting for a non-existent machine.

ENH: Improved escaping in kwsys/System.  Added escape of % for NMake.  Added escape of ; for the VS IDE.

ENH: Add SystemTools::SplitPathRootComponent and re-implement SplitPath to use it.  Add better treatment of user home directory paths.

BUG: Fix hang in Process_Kill on OS X caused by an OS bug in which a pipe read end cannot be closed if the pipe write end is open, the pipe is full, and another process is blocking waiting to write.  Work around the problem by killing the children before closing the pipes.

     1. an "abridged" version that separates protocol from dataglom in
        an expression with the form protocol://dataglom
     2. a "full" version that parses protocol, username, password,
        hostname, port, and path in a standard URL (all of these variables
        are optional, except for protocol and hostname).

major issues:
-access() doesn't return false for an empty string (#ifdefed in cmake)
-dlopen() doesn't return 0 on failure (#ifdefed in cmake and fixed now in Syllable)
-the kwsys and Bootstrap tests fail with timeout due to the fact that I'm doing all that in qemu, which is quite slow
-RPATH is now supported, so without modifying the test adapting DLL_PATH in Syllable is required for the tests to succeed
-the Plugin test fails with an undefined reference to example_exe_function() in example_mod_1, it seems this isn't supported under Syllable

ENH: Add ability to call Visual Studio macros from CMake. Add a CMake Visual Studio macro to reload a solution file automatically if CMake makes changes to .sln files or .vcproj files. Add code to call the macro automatically for any running Visual Studio instances with the .sln file open at the end of the Visual Studio Generate call. Only call the macro if some .sln or .vcproj file changed during Generate. Also, add handling for REG_EXPAND_SZ type to SystemTools::ReadRegistryValue - returned string has environment variable references expanded.

ENH: Adding DateStamp feature to KWSys.  This provides a header file giving preprocessor access to a dated version.  The 'datestamp' will be updated automatically every day by a script.

BUG: Fix bug#5590.  When converting a relative path between two full paths on different windows drive letters do not create a ../../d:/foo/bar path and just return the full path to the destination.

COMP: TIOCGWINSZ and struct winsize also doesn't exist on Cray Catamount

COMP: make SystemTools.cxx build on Cray Xt3

ENH: add support for the Portland Compiler to CMake, can build cmake and the tests pass (except the wrapping tests, which fail to link to the g++-compiled Qt)

BUG: if there is no match, don't construct the stl string from a NULL
pointer

BUG: fix segfault if FindFiles() is called without actual match pattern
(e.g. FILE(GLOB /usr/include) instead of FILE(GLOB /usr/include/* )
#4620

COMP: Second try getting rid of Microsoft deprecation warnings. This time tested from KWStyle with vs8 to make sure the warnings are really gone. Remove the deprecation defs from CMakeLists and guard the defs in the header so we do not redefine them if they are already defined.
