Summary:                    cmake dos not set CMAKE_RC_FLAGS to include the
platform defines like WIN32_WCE UNDER_CE etc.
Description: 
when people use things like 
#idef UNDER_CE in the .rc files it is not recognised as being defined
because cmake dos not set CMAKE_RC_FLAGS to include the platform defines like
WIN32_WCE UNDER_CE etc. 


my proposal is to patch windows-msvc.cmake like this:
   set(_RTC1 "")
   set(_FLAGS_CXX " /GR /EHsc")
   set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "coredll.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib
uuid.lib commctrl.lib")
   set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT}
/NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib /NODEFAULTLIB:oldnames.lib")
-
+  set(CMAKE_RC_FLAGS "${_PLATFORM_DEFINES} ${_PLATFORM_DEFINES_C}")
+  
   if (MSVC_VERSION LESS 1600)
     set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "${CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT}
corelibc.lib")
   endif ()


i had the task to report this issue on my list for a very long time now.
finally done.
