I get it. But wouldn't it be a GOOD THING to incorporate logic of
vcvarsall.bat into cmake's module looking for VC?
I would be surprised to see cmake supporting some tool chain out of the
box but not supporting the most popular tool chain on Windows platform
in the same way.


Do you know any other platform where user has to manually set
environment each time he's going to use development tools?
