Summary:                    cmake --help should be explicit about how to specify
architecture.
Description: 

In previous releases, it was necessary to specify Win64 in the generator name to
do a 64 bit build. This is not mentioned in the output of cmake --help.

Now there is also a -A option. The help output should be explicit about whatever
the user should use.
