The "extra generators" are not of concern here.  They are only ever
used in conjunction with real "generators".  The base class for the
latter is cmGlobalGenerator.  However, cmGlobalGeneratorFactory is
also a candidate for this check since it exists before the actual
generator is created.  You'll have to pick whichever works more
cleanly for this use case.
