[CMake] suppressing the compiler chooser dialog

[Jesse Corrington]

Well, not exactly, but close. We have a variety of different builds and some
only work on some platforms. For instance on windows desktop we have 2
different builds which both use msvc.

The goal would basically be to supply a list of builds that are supported
and pick the compiler based on the build name, since we only support a
limited number of platforms. An example of this build list would be:

windows desktop A
windows desktop B
windows mobile 5
windows mobile 6
symbian
etc.
