Summary:                    CMake from command line using wrong generator
Description: 
I'm trying to generate NMake Makefiles with cmake from the command line, but I'm
getting the wrong generator: 

c:\gitbuild\x>cmake –G "NMake Makefiles" c:\gitbuild\cc_vob\tcs
-- Building for: Visual Studio 8 2005
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 8 2005
-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 8 2005 -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) I open a Visual Studio 2005 command line (yes 2005, it's a legacy project).
2) I add cmake path: 
   set PATH="c:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin";%path%
3) I run: 
   cmake –G "NMake Makefiles" c:\gitbuild\cc_vob\tcs 
4) Instead of generating nmake makefiles, I get a VS Solution: 
-- Building for: Visual Studio 8 2005
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727

Additional Information: 
- If I don't add CMake bin to Path variable, it sometimes uses the correct
generator, however, I have to call cmake with a fully qualified name:

c:\gitbuild\p>"c:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin\cmake.exe" -G "NMake
Makefiles" ..\cc_vob\tcs
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 14.0.50727
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/VC/bin/cl.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/VC/bin/cl.exe -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done

- I'm using Visual Studio Command Line Prompt shell (x86).
