Changes in CMake 2.8.0 RC 1 

- Qt based GUI cmake-gui is now the default GUI, MFC CMakeSetup is no
  longer included in CMake.  ccmake is still supported.
- cmake-gui supports multi-state values options.
- CMake now has cmake --build command that can build any CMake generated
  project from the command line.
- Visual Studio 2010 beta support has been added.
- KDevelop generator now has color output for builds.
- CTest supports running tests in parallel with a -j N option.
- A new CTest CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option can be used to get better
  dashboard error reports with make based tools.
- CTest has support for sub-projects and labels which can interact
  with CDash.
- CTest now supports Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar.
- It is now possible to use DESTDIR in CPack for any CMake based projects
  giving more flexibility on the final path names.
- The CPack Deb generator now computes the arch instead of hard coding it.
- Fortran/C mixed language projects made much easier. CMake now
  automatically can compute the run time libraries for a compiler. In
  addition, a new FortranCInterface module can determine the correct
  name mangling needed to mix C and Fortran.
- Intel compiler support added to OSX, and support for embedded
  manifests in the windows intel compiler was added.
- Depend scanning is now much faster with makefiles.
- Many FindQt4 improvements to stay working with current Qt releases
- FindMPI has improvements for windows.
- FindBoost has been updated to work with the most recent boost releases.
- New External Project Module.  The 'ExternalProject_Add' function
  creates a custom target to drive download, update/patch, configure,
  build, install and test steps of an external project.
- xmlrpc dependancy has been removed
- CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET cache variable has been created to set the
  deployment OS for a build on OSX.
- Several new policies were added:
  CMP0012
       The if() command can recognize named boolean constants.
  CMP0013
       Duplicate binary directories are not allowed.
  CMP0014
       Input directories must have CMakeLists.txt.
  CMP0015
       The set() CACHE mode and option() command make the cache value
       visible.
- Lots of bug fixes.
