      "The if statement was written fairly early in CMake's history "
      "and it has some convenience features that are worth covering. "
      "The if statement reduces operations until there is "
      "a single remaining value, at that point if the case "
      "insensitive value is: ON, 1, YES, TRUE, Y it returns true, if "
      "it is OFF, 0, NO, FALSE, N, NOTFOUND, *-NOTFOUND, IGNORE it "
      "will return false. \n"

      "This is fairly reasonable. The convenience feature that sometimes "
      "throws new authors is how CMake handles values that do not "
      "match the true or false list. Those values are treated as "
      "variables and are dereferenced even though they do not have "
      "the required ${} syntax. This means that if you write\n"

      "  if (boobah)\n"

      "CMake will treat it as if you wrote \n"

      "  if (${boobah})\n"

      "likewise if you write \n"

      "  if (fubar AND sol)\n"

      "CMake will conveniently treat it as \n"

      "  if (\"${fubar}\" AND \"${sol}\")\n"

      "The later is really the correct way to write it, but the "
      "former will work as well. Only some operations in the if "
      "statement have this special handling of arguments. The "
      "specific details follow: \n"

      "1) The left hand argument to MATCHES is first checked to see "
      "if it is a defined variable, if so the variable's value is "
      "used, otherwise the original value is used. \n"

      "2) If the left hand argument to MATCHES is missing it returns "
      "false without error \n"

      "3) Both left and right hand arguments to LESS GREATER EQUAL "
      "are independently tested to see if they are defined variables, "
      "if so their defined values are used otherwise the original "
      "value is used. \n"

      "4) Both left and right hand arguments to STRLESS STREQUAL "
      "STRGREATER are independently tested to see if they are defined "
      "variables, if so their defined values are used otherwise the "
      "original value is used. \n"

      "5) Both left and right hand argumemnts to VERSION_LESS "
      "VERSION_EQUAL VERSION_GREATER are independently tested to see "
      "if they are defined variables, if so their defined values are "
      "used otherwise the original value is used. \n"

      "6) The right hand argument to NOT is tested to see if it is a "
      "boolean constant, if so the value is used, otherwise it is "
      "assumed to be a variable and it is dereferenced. \n"

      "7) The left and right hand arguments to AND OR are "
      "independently tested to see if they are boolean constants, if "
      "so they are used as such, otherwise they are assumed to be "
      "variables and are dereferenced. \n"
