Summary0012145: Add intra-documentation links
DescriptionOn this page:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html [^]

there are many "See XYZ" statements. E.g.

-----
else: Starts the else portion of an if block.

 else(expression)

See the if command.
-----

It would be very helpful if these were linked to the anchor of that
command, e.g.:

See the [if] command.

Dave C. agrees on the mailing list, but notes:
"...how to represent links in the source code such that we can generated such linked documentation?"

which is a good question :)

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
