What does the OLD CMP0002 policy mean?

(Yes, I know I can go and look it up in the cmake documentation, but I shouldn't have to, because the commit message should tell me.)

Instead of selecting the OLD behaviour, should we be changing other stuff so that the NEW behaviour is valid?

"""
For example, CMake 2.6 introduces policy CMP0002 which requires all logical target names to be globally unique (duplicate target names previously worked in some cases by accident but were not diagnosed). Projects using duplicate target names and working accidentally will receive warnings referencing the policy.
"""

Can't we fix the duplicate target names instead? What are they?

I can evaulate this.

These are doc related.

It occurs to me that your commit 1e1e4c92a might have fixed this?

Please remove "review-" from the status whiteboard when there's something here to review again.
