I'm not sure what caused that failure, but according to local testing
on my VS 6 the failure we now see is caused by (according to git bisect)
the language-generator-expressions topic.  I've merged join-genex but
you'll have to look into the failure further.

Meanwhile I've discovered we let a failure leak into master.  The
fix-include_directories-whitespace-handling topic:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=2f84dfec

adds "empty.cpp" with content "// No content".  That fails on the
AIX linker:

 http://open.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=191412829&build=2912721
 Linking CXX shared library libempty_entry_test.so
 ld: 0711-244 ERROR: No csects or exported symbols have been saved.

Does the file need to be empty of symbols for this test?

Thanks,
