Summary:                    Configure fails with CMAKE_RC_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Description: 
With CMake 2.8.8 each configure without setting parameter -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER
fails. 
See attached file cmake_failure.log
CMake 2.6.4 configuring the same project works well without setting
CMAKE_RC_COMPILER.

Steps to Reproduce: 
CMakeLists.txt:
--------------------------
project(Test)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
set(SRC main.cpp)
add_executable(Test ${SRC})

main.cpp:
--------------------------
int main() {
  return 0;
}

DOS console:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
==> build failed

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER=C:/MinGW/bin/windres.exe
==> build ok


Additional Information: 
>From my point of view C:\Programme\CMake
2.8\share\cmake-2.8\Modules\Platform\Windows-GNU.cmake file should be modified
(see C:\Programme\CMake2.8\share\cmake-2.8\Modules\Platform\CYGWIN-GNU.cmake
file)
If I added "set(CMAKE_GENERATOR_RC windres)" before "enable_language(RC)",
then build works correct.
