I've revised Tobias's commits to rename NewFactory to GetFactory and
explain some rationale in the commit message:

 Refactor extra generator registration to use factories
 https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=a354f60c

 Report more information about extra generators in generator factories
 https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=cd52a225

I don't think the granularity is too low for these particular changes.
The commit only looks large because it essentially updates the syntax
used to express a table of information.  Perhaps this syntax update and
the main logic updates could be separated but IMO it's good enough.
