Ryan's MSVCStaticRuntime.cmake is not a hack. That's the right way to do this. It's MSVC specific, and can already be done in the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS quite easily.

The only thing we could do in CMake is provide some variable or property that you set that makes this automatic. But it would still be MSVC specific, unless somebody goes to the next level and says "how can I generalize this to all the compilers that CMake supports"?

If you have a concrete proposal for how this could be generally useful across the set of compilers that CMake supports, by all means, re-open this issue for further discussion.

It's not something I'd like to have in (my) files.

That's fine (for me). If later it's needed on another compiler, support for this feature on that compiler could be added at that time. But only if such a generic property is used, not if Ryan's non-hack is used.
