  addition, a new FortranCInterface module can determine the correct
  name mangling needed to mix C and Fortran.

  manifests in the windows intel compiler was added.

  deployment OS for a build on OSX.

  CMP0012
       The if() command can recognize named boolean constants.
  CMP0013
       Duplicate binary directories are not allowed.
  CMP0014
       Input directories must have CMakeLists.txt.
  CMP0015
       The set() CACHE mode and option() command make the cache value
       visible.
