Summary:                    subsystem windowsce is not set for dll only for
exes, this makes dll not loadable on wec2013 (wince8)
Description: 
the subsystem switch for the linker is only set for executables but not for
dlls.
this was no problem for ce < wec2013. but wec2013 checks for correct subsystem.
you can see this informations using depends.exe from dependancywalker.com


Steps to Reproduce: 
compile a project containg a dll with a wec2013 sdk. this dll will not be loaded
on wec2013. 

Additional Information: 
this problem can be fixed with this simple patch:

--- a\share\cmake-3.0\Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake
+++ b\share\cmake-3.0\Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake

 set(WIN32 1)
 
 if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME MATCHES "WindowsCE")
-  set(CMAKE_CREATE_WIN32_EXE "/subsystem:windowsce /entry:WinMainCRTStartup")
-  set(CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE "/subsystem:windowsce /entry:mainACRTStartup")
+  set(CMAKE_CREATE_WIN32_EXE "/entry:WinMainCRTStartup")
+  set(CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE "/entry:mainACRTStartup")
+  set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT}
/subsystem:windowsce")
   set(WINCE 1)
 else()
   set(CMAKE_CREATE_WIN32_EXE "/subsystem:windows")
   set(CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE "/subsystem:console")
 endif()


CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT  is inherited by the dll settings but
CMAKE_CREATE_WIN32_EXE  or CMAKE_CREATE_CONSOLE_EXE  is of course not.
