Summary:                    CMake NMake generator /machine defect
Description: 
I have found a way to reproduce http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=10695 where
building with Nmake causes link failure

"No argument passed to /machine:"

The problem comes when the user does wrong the first NMake configuration

Steps to Reproduce: 
1- Open cmake-gui without compiler environment variables (i.e. open from
Start->Run...)
2- Configure a project with NMake . You will get errors complaining about not
finding the compiler
3- Close cmake-gui
4- Run cmake-gui from a VS command prompt
5- Configure (without deleting cache). This time the compiler is found.
6- Build -> get the error


Additional Information: 
It seems that the /machine: flag is not re-set in successive configurations even
when the first failed.

Not an important bug, but can block beginners
