Summary

0015199: Better error message for export conflicts

Description

If an export target depends on another target, that other target must either be

* in the same export set, or
* in exactly one other export set.

If it is not in the same export set and in more than one other export set, CMake reports
```
CMake Error: install(EXPORT "A" ...) includes target "b" which requires target "c" that is not in this export set, but 5 times in others.
```
This error message is somewhat misleading; one could think that "c" must be in the same export set as "b".

Perhaps a less ambiguous wording would be:
```
CMake Error: install(EXPORT "A" ...) includes target "b" which requires target "c" that is
* not in this export set, and
* in more than one other export set (5).
```
I'm sure we can do even better than that.

(0037012) Brad King (manager) 2014-10-09 08:38	Thanks for pointing this out. The ComplainAboutMissingTarget methods house these messages: http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmExportBuildFileGenerator.cxx;hb=v3.0.2#l288 [^] http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmExportInstallFileGenerator.cxx;hb=v3.0.2#l511 [^] Your proposed wording is better.
