I think this can work as a feature of this specific generator.
Let's restrict it to executable targets for now.  Also, rather
than a new property, let's define that the VS_WINRT_COMPONENT
property may be *explicitly* set to a false value to disable
WinRT settings on Store targets.  On Windows Store it should
be an error to set VS_WINRT_COMPONENT explicitly to false for
anything but an EXECUTABLE target.

That leaks knowledge of the VS generator features into code
that is not specific to the generator.  Instead you could add
a method to cmTarget like "IsHostExecutable" that can answer
the above question.  Internally it could ask the global gen
for help, which could then be a vtable dispatch to special
knowledge in the VS >= 10 generators.
