REMOVE common.cmakev6.0remove_common_cmake
This repo literally started with common.cmake. However, I think that in this day and age, it is, to put it mildly, outdated. Feature by feature: * The C++ standard is better defined on a per-project basis, and it's very easy. Frankly, I'm surprised GCC still (as of March '26) defaults to something pre-11 (or at least I think it does). * The warning options are, again, very easy to do on a per-project basis, and perhaps they should be defined there. * The Windows-only defines (NOMINMAX, etc.) are, again, very easy to define on the project level, and don't warrant a separate file. * The static runtime thing is more tricky. I use static runtime linking on Windows only, basically. And since about 3.15, it supports CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY, which can set up the linking without my help. I don't care about the older versions enough to keep maintenance. * Symbol stripping is better done when calling `cmake --install --strip` in modern CMake version. Otherwise, it's a simple compilation flag for Release builds. * Installing PDBs does require some trickery though. It's simple enough: you just call install() with $<TARGET_PDB_FILE> or whatever it's called.

-This file aids in quick-and-dirty development by
-
-* linking everything (including the runtime) statically by default,
-* setting some useful compilation options (enables warnings, defines common
-Windows-specific macros, strips debug symbols in release builds, etc.).
