Summary:                    Error configuring project using Intel Fortran with
Visual Studio generator
Description: 
We have a project setup, which uses C, C++ and Fortran. Additionally we have
defined custom build types with compile flags for these build types.
Up to 2.8.6-rc2 this project could be configured using the Visual Studio 9 2008
generator without problems. Since 2.8.6-rc3 (and also the final 2.8.6 release)
the configuration step generates errors related to our custom build types:

-- Check for working Fortran compiler using: Visual Studio 9 2008
CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be
 built correctly.
Missing variable is:
CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_NOOPT
CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be
 built correctly.
Missing variable is:
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_NOOPT
CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be
 built correctly.
Missing variable is:
CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_DEBUGWARN
CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be
 built correctly.
Missing variable is:
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUGWARN

The suffixes DEBUGWARN and NOOPT stem from our custom build types.
Unfortunately I have not succeeded in creating a small sample project, which
reproduces the problem.

Performing the same configuration with other generators such as NMake on Windows
or Make on Linux succeeds without problems.

Additional Information: 
I have attached to trace files generated by cmake-2.8.6-rc2 and cmake-2.8.6-rc3
when calling cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" --trace <source dir>
