[cmake-developers] Failing CMake WinStorePhone tests

[David Cole]

Well, after installing the Update 4 to VS 2013 yesterday, and letting
the dashboards run their usual course overnight ... the WinStorePhone
tests seem to work just fine now.

So: must be some difference in VS 2013 "out of the box" and "Update 4"
that was to blame. I'm perfectly ok with saying "you gotta have the
latest update of VS" for the WinStorePhone tests to work.

Does that match your expectations?

Thanks, and sorry for the temporary noise....

I'm guessing that this is similar to what I recently fixed in CMake for the express editions, the same detection logic might need to be moved over to the test script.
