Using absolute path to locate the components in the "Libs:" field of the
*.pc can badly break cross-compilation, especially when building
statically linked objects.
Indeed, pkg-config automatically replaces the '-I...' and '-L...' paths
when the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment
variables are set [1]. This feature is very helpful and common in
cross-compilation framework like Buildroot [2,3].
When there are absolute paths in the *.pc files, pkg-config won't be
able to do the path substitutions for these paths when the
aforementioned environment variables are set.
In such case, since the prefix is the target one, not the sysroot one,
these libraries' absolute paths will point to:
- in the best case: a non-existing file (i.e. these files do not exists
on the host system;
- at worst: the host system's libraries. This will make the linking
failed because these host system's libraries will most likely not be
build for the target architecture [4].
So, this patch replace the components' absolute paths by the form:
-L<libdir> -l<libname>
This way, the linker will be able to resolve each dependency path,
whatever the kind of objects/build (shared object or static build) it
is dealing with.
Note that for static link, the library order does matter [5]. The order
of the opencv components has been carefully chosen to comply with this
requirement.

The use of built-in CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR requires at least
CMake 2.8.3. This fix properly defines the variable to allow its
use in versions < 2.8.3 as well.
Fixes issue #4205.
Exclude >= 2.8.3 from reimplementation of CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR
This avoids violation of possible future CMake policy checks
regarding reserved/read-only variables.
find_package(PythonInterp) calls find_program(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE), i.e. without version number. For the Win32-search before to be effective, the same variable has to be used.
Make detection of x64 using the gcc's target triplet identical
to the one used in cmake/OpenCVDetectCXXCompiler.cmake.
Otherwise, MinGW-w64 setups will always be treated as x64 since
they contain "w64" as vendor key.
MinGW-w64 always uses "w64" as vendor key which the previously
used check for "64" anywhere in the target triplet matched. This
would lead to MinGW-w64 setups always being treated as x64.
Turns out we do not even need this additional check since the
architecture has been correctly determined earlier in this file.
No need to do it again.
HAVE_VFW flag is defined by CMake try_compile check.
Check fails for WINRT as vfw.h begins with
and contains empty set of functions for Store apps.
So we can safely remove vfw32.lib for WINRT in general
(independently of availability for specific configuration)
