+CMP0091
+-------
+
+MSVC runtime library flags are selected by an abstraction.
+
+Compilers targeting the MSVC ABI have flags to select the MSVC runtime library.
+Runtime library selection typically varies with build configuration because
+there is a separate runtime library for Debug builds.
+
+In CMake 3.14 and below, MSVC runtime library selection flags are added to
+the default :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` cache entries by CMake
+automatically. This allows users to edit their cache entries to adjust the
+flags. However, the presence of such default flags is problematic for
+projects that want to choose a different runtime library programmatically.
+In particular, it requires string editing of the
+:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` variables with knowledge of the
+CMake builtin defaults so they can be replaced.
+
+CMake 3.15 and above prefer to leave the MSVC runtime library selection flags
+out of the default :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` values and instead
+offer a first-class abstraction. The :variable:`CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`
+variable and :prop_tgt:`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target property may be set to
+select the MSVC runtime library.
+
+This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated
+to be aware of the abstraction. The policy setting takes effect as of the
+first :command:`project` or :command:`enable_language` command that enables
+a language whose compiler targets the MSVC ABI.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Once the policy has taken effect at the top of a project, that choice
+ must be used throughout the tree. In projects that have nested projects
+ in subdirectories, be sure to convert everything together.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to place MSVC runtime library
+flags in the default :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` cache
+entries and ignore the :variable:`CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` abstraction.
+The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to *not* place MSVC runtime
+library flags in the default cache entries and use the abstraction instead.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.15. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
+Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn
+when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior.
