Thanks for explaining that VS behavior.

Yes, if CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is "Windows" and CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
indicates Windows > 8.1 then we should use the latest SDK that
is available but not newer than the version of Windows targeted.

BTW, what are the values of CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_VERSION on Windows
7, 8, 8.1, and 10 when CMake is built with the new manifest file?
IIUC they should be:

 Windows 7   => 6.1
 Windows 8   => 6.2
 Windows 8.1 => 6.3
 Windows 10  => 10.0

plus a third component for the Windows build number.

Thanks,
