Summary0015462: Provide a machine readable way to determine the available generators and other capabilities of the binary
DescriptionAs per

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/12658/focus=12750 [^]

Providing some easily parsed way of determining the available generators for IDEs would be useful. Eg:


 $ cmake -E capabilities
 {
   "generators": [
     {
       "name": "Unix Makefiles",
       "multiconfig": false,
       "recursive": true,
       "extraGenerators": ["Sublime", "CodeBlocks"]
     },
     {
       "name": "Ninja",
       "multiconfig": false,
       "recursive": false,
       "extraGenerators": ["Sublime", "CodeBlocks"]
     },
     {
       "name": "Xcode"
       "multiconfig": true,
       ...
     }
     ...
  ],
  "daemon": {
    "protocolVersions": ["3.5", "3.6"]
  }
 }

As noted at

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/12751 [^]

a property similar to "can_build_individual_files" may be useful.
