Hello fellow developers, https://github.com/hunger/CMake/commits/cmake-capabilities
has my attempt to get "cmake -E capabilities" merged -- in preparation of the server mode. Brad already merged a big chunk of the changes, but he wanted to see the extra generator registration cleaned up before continuing. That has happened in the new push: The first patch adds a cmExternalMakefileProjectGeneratorFactory, which has all the necessary information so that cmake no longer needs to create instances of all extra generators during startup. Extra generators can now alias others -- which is used for the KDevelop3 generator. Maybe we can just remove that? The comments claim the generator is for compatibility with cmake 2.2. That would shave a couple of lines of that patch... The capabilities work on top of that branch is mostly unchanged, but exposes an "isAlias" flag. I now suppress all aliases in the output of -E capabilities as I think it makes no sense to have new code announce compatibility bridges (and the last version already hardcoded KDevelop3 to be suppressed).
