CheckLanguage
-------------

Check if a language can be enabled

Usage:

::

  check_language(<lang>)

where ``<lang>`` is a language that may be passed to :command:`enable_language`
such as ``Fortran``.  If :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER` is already defined
the check does nothing.  Otherwise it tries enabling the language in a
test project.  The result is cached in :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER`
as the compiler that was found, or ``NOTFOUND`` if the language cannot be
enabled. For CUDA which can have an explicit host compiler, the cache
:variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER` variable will be set if it was required
for compilation (and cleared if it was not).

Example:

::

  check_language(Fortran)
  if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
    enable_language(Fortran)
  else()
    message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
  endif()
