Review request for Build System and KDE Frameworks.


Repository: extra-cmake-modules


Description
-------

Windows has a way for executables and shared libraries (DLLs) to contain version information in a machine-readable format. This information can be seen in Explorer in the file properties (http://goo.gl/UbJGte) and also in the tooltip when hovering the file. It's also used by Windows Installer to avoid overwriting an existing DLL with an older version.

This change adds a CMake macro to generate a Windows resource script with version information passed to the macro.

The macro documentation is a single line, obviously needs work.

Testing
-------

Tested with CMake 3.0.2 in kcoreaddons (review /r/121401), MSVC2013, Windows 7. Explorer tooltip shows description and version. File properties shows all the new information.


Thanks,

Nicolás Alvarez
