``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` should no longer be used.
The behavior is to check ``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` and present
it to the user. The ``NEW`` behavior is to ignore
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY completely.
In CMake 2.4 and below the variable ``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` was
used to request compatibility with earlier versions of CMake. In
CMake 2.6 and above all compatibility issues are handled by policies
and the :command:`cmake_policy` command. However, CMake must still check
``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` for projects written for CMake 2.4 and
below.
