Thanks for working on this.  Consider drawing attention to your
work by posting in the issue tracker too.  I haven't personally
worked on any wp80 development so it will be helpful to recruit
others to help review the work.

Our convention is to have no spaces in the name of the architecture,
so a name like "Visual Studio 11 WP8" will be better.  Some projects
use regular expressions to parse the generator name so we should
stick to that convention.

See the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET feature added in 2.8.11 along with
the -T command-line option to set it.

Do you mean multiple architectures in one vcxproj file?

If the patch series is relatively small you can just use
"git format-patch" and post the patches to this list.

Alternatively, if the topic is large, we publish mirrors of the
Git repo:

 https://github.com/Kitware/CMake
 http://gitorious.org/cmake/cmake

If you have an account on one of those you can fork/clone the
project there, publish your topic to your own account, and then
post a link here.
