 As CMake evolves it is sometimes necessary to change existing behavior
 in order to fix bugs or improve implementations of existing features.
 The CMake Policy mechanism is designed to help keep existing projects
 building as new versions of CMake introduce changes in behavior.  Each
 new policy (behavioral change) is given an identifier of the form
-"CMP<NNNN>" where "<NNNN>" is an integer index.  Documentation
-associated with each policy describes the OLD and NEW behavior and the
-reason the policy was introduced.  Projects may set each policy to
-select the desired behavior.  When CMake needs to know which behavior

 to use it checks for a setting specified by the project.  If no

+CMake Policy Stack
+''''''''''''''''''
 
 CMake keeps policy settings on a stack, so changes made by the
 cmake_policy command affect only the top of the stack.  A new entry on
 the policy stack is managed automatically for each subdirectory to
 protect its parents and siblings.  CMake also manages a new entry for
-scripts loaded by include() and find_package() commands except when
-invoked with the NO_POLICY_SCOPE option (see also policy CMP0011).
-The cmake_policy command provides an interface to manage custom
-entries on the policy stack:

 propagate up through callers until they reach the closest nested
