Should work now for many parts. IMHO there are still a few parts which do not work 100% now. But I can figure it out with the current master.

If you apply it to the other VS genertors we need to extend the list of generators with every SDK found (-G "Visual Studio 8 2005 ${CMAKE_WINCE_SDK}"). IMHO selecting the platform for the VS compiler with different compilers isn't perfect either (For every new VS version you get 2 (with ARM 3) new generator types).
Maybe we can extend the "-G parameter" with something like "-GP generatorPlatform" and remove the "Win64" and "ARM" VS generators?

Otherwiese Visual Studio catches the wrong compiler later. But maybe the CMake codebase improved in the meantime (the patch is based on v2.8.3).
