Summary:                    Allow COMPILE_OPTIONS to vary by source file
language
Description: 

Compile options like -fno-exceptions should be added for CXX files, but not for
C files.

Some methods like cmLocalGenerator::GetIncludeDirectories have a language in
their API, but that is a linker language, not a source file language. 

Making build properties vary by source file language is probably a large
refactoring task of the existing generators.
