Summary:                    VS2012 generator ignores /SUBSYSTEM:WNDOWS
Description: 
We define for all Win and MFC projects the Subystem with "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS".
This works very well for VS2003/2005 and 2008 (2010 we did not try).

But for VS2012 this flag is ignored by cmake. Only at

  add_executable( MY_TARGET WIN32 ${MY_files} )

we obtain the correct flag. 

Otherwise we find 

   /CONSOLE:CONSOLE"5,01

inside the link options...




Steps to Reproduce: 
first we add the link option with:

set_target_properties( MY_TARGET PROPERTIES  LINK_FLAGS_DEBUG
"/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS")

then we set
   set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 1) http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=1 for static the
static MFC library

and 
   add_library( ${project_name}  SHARED ${_files} )



Additional Information: 
the result in the vcxproj is:

<subsystem>console</subsystem>

At VS2008 we have something like:
AdditionalOptions=" /machine:X86 /debug /swaprun:net /LIBPATH:E:/DitecLibs/Lib
nafxcwd.lib /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS"

and that works fine.

I think the parser somehow ignores the SUBSYSTEM command. Is that the point?
