[cmake-developers] visual studio usage

[J Decker]

Okay I saw the comments in the platform scripts about fortran, but
maybe a symbol could be added to maybe prefer msbuild; there are a
couple like that for InstallSystemRuntimeLibraries or whatever that
was... so you can control the behavior.  The other alternative might
be add additional options for generators that prefer one or the other.

if( PREFER_MSBUILD )
