Dear Cmake developers,
as a follow up of this bug
https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15894

I'm writing to request support for the /Debug:FastLink flag which was
introduced in visual studio 2015 (update 1), and the option to generate
full PDB informations.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2015/10/16/debug-fastlink-for-vs2015-update-1.aspx

Brad King already setup the correct framework in "next" branch to implement
the /Debug:FastLink and with the proposed patch (last topic in the bug) it
works good.

About the "Generate Full PDB informations" , is a new option that can be
used to re-use pdbs generated with the fastlink flag in a different
computer from the one who did the compilation (it may be useful sometimes).
That option seems to doesn't have a (public) command line switch, instead
it relies on an XML property.

When the user requests "Generate Full PDB informations", the generator
should add
<FullProgramDatabaseFile>true</FullProgramDatabaseFile>
in the <Link> section.

What's the best way to set a TARGET or global property which would enable
the switchless XML property in the generator?

Thanks!
Qb
