Summary:                    $<TARGET_POLICY:*> generator expression evaluates to
NEW instead of 1
Description: 
When the $<TARGET_POLICY:*> generator expression is used, it should evaluate to
1 if the given policy is new and 0 if it is old, as documented here:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/manual/cmake-generator-expressions.7.html

However, with the current version of CMake it evaluates to NEW in the true case.
I did not test the false case, which probably evaluates to OLD.
