THis is necessary for newer Boost (1.71) which puts the exported targets
in Boost_LIBRARIES. If we export that verbatim it causes link issues on
projects using the config scripts from Make

This reverts commit e7294d81.

This does not exist on xenial yet

find_package is for use inside the *Config.cmake files

To add public dependencies to the generated config, use e.g.

list(APPEND ${PROJECT_NAME}_PUBLIC_DEPENDENCIES "Boost COMPONENTS system thread chrono")

- Make doxygen pick up markdown.
- introduced: set_default_build_to_release.cmake

set_default_build_type_to_release.cmake -> set_default_build_to_release.cmake

'*.md' files put into the projects doc directory will be picked as part of
the documentation. '*.md' files in other locations of the source tree will
be ignored.

enclose CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in quotes; this transforms it into an wmpty
string and the string command wont complain that its missing an argument
when CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is not set.

Cmake treats CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE string as case insensitve. Make the check
for enabling coverage reflect this to make usage less restrictive.

fix issue that a double "-l" can appear in the Makefile config shell scripts for libraries which already contain the -l

usage:

                 "test_src.cc"
                 ${concatenated_string_of_source_files}

Introduced cmake module registerTests:

new scheme:
register_tests(SOURCES
                 ${list_of_source_files}
                 "test_src.cc"
                 ${concatenated_string_of_source_files}
               NAMESPACE
                 "test_namespace"
               LINK_LIBRARIES
                 ${list_of_targets}
               INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
                 ${list_of_include_directories}
               COMPILE_OPTIONS
                 ${list_of_compile_options})

usage:
register_tests(SOURCES
                 ${list_of_source_files}
                 "test_src.cc"
                 ${concatenated_string_of_source_files}
               NAMESPACE
                 "test_namespace"
               DEPENDS
                 ${list_of_targets}
               INCLUDES
                 ${list_of_include_directories}
               COMPILE_OPTIONS
                 ${list_of_compile_options})

Function registers tests defined as a list of souce files.  Test defined
by file source_name.cc in the SOURCES list is registered under the name
  test_namespace.source_name

Provided list of dependent targets and include directories are used for
test executables as PRIVATE dependencies during compilation.

Function implicitly adds a dependency on the boost unit test framework
to each generated test executable.

This reverts commit 7eace484.

GNUInstallDirs doesn't really deliver the intended directories. CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR e.g. points to lib/x86_64-linux-gnu on Ubuntu 16.04

Not adding the repository as a remote simply makes it impossible to push
to it. Also this makes it mandatory to always fetch the changes from the
remote anyway since it is not locally mirrored.
