[CMake] Getting the compiler version?

[Mike Jackson]

Not really a "portable" way but there are usually compiler specific
ways which then get wrapped in lots of "if()" commands based on what
is being used.

If you look through the FindBoost.cmake file that comes with CMake
around line 535 you may be able to pull out that code which does a
pretty decent job of determining compiler versions.
