Obviously this was copied from CMakeFortranInformation at some point.
Just s/Fortran/RC/.

SET(CMAKE_RC_INFORMATION_LOADED 1)

but "CMAKE_RC_INFORMATION_LOADED" does not seem to be used anywhere?

It's used in the C++ code:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmGlobalGenerator.cxx;hb=v2.8.6#l421

Would somebody explain me how this file is used and from where?
How does this file
CMakeRCInformation.cmake
relates to:
CMakeDetermineRCCompiler.cmake
CMakeRCCompiler.cmake.in
CMakeTestRCCompiler.cmake

The language init process is documented here:
