Summary:                    Shortcut for generator names
Description: 
Hi,
Whenever I want to call cmake from command line, it's a bit hard to remember the
generator name exactly, with the right case.
Would it be possible to add an alias for it?
For example,
"Visual Studio 8 2005" <-> MSVC8
"Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles" <-> Eclipse_mingw
...
