It re-uses the Modules/Compiler/<id>-<lang>-FeatureTests.cmake information
to generate a header file that projects can include to check for the
availability of features.  The header can then be installed and re-used
by clients of such projects even if they do not use CMake.

The test checks that those results are consistent with the features detected
by CMake.
