The new property is not strictly necessary.

Setting:

set_target_properties(target PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "/ENTRY:mainCRTStartup")

would also work because it is a link flag for MSVC.

On the other hand instead of setting WIN32_EXECUTABLE it would also be possible to just set:

set_target_properties(target PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS")

but the former is more convenient for the end user.

I don't know what would be better? For consistency reason there could be something like a WIN32_ENTRYPOINT property.
