On second thought, since the Xcode generator already does this correctly
I think it is better to just fix the inconsistency. I doubt anyone is
intentionally depending on compiling .m sources with the C++ compiler.
If it comes up we can add the CMake Policy for compatibility later.
It looks like this was reported and "fixed" in 2008:
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=7045
but the fix was not correct because the generators do not use the
cmSystemTools::GetFileFormat hard-coded table anymore.
I'll look at integrating the change.
Thanks,
