[CMake] 2.8.3 fortran regression or how to find configure problem

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

When using ifort on windows I do the following


a)      Make sure cmake is launched from inside a cmd prompt with the ifort-vars.bat set so that the ifort compiler is on the path etc etc

b)      always use nmake makefiles to do the initial configure and detection

c)       once the project is ready to compile, you can edit the cmakecache and insert the visual studio (2008) generator, then rerun cmake and regenerate.

Now you are a happy bunny and can compile using the IDE if desired - or skip C and use nmake

Friday I upgraded my windows VS2008 and IVF111 machines to cmake 2.8.3. Over the weekend they all failed to configure with fortran :

Include with this update was a 'MS Windows update' cycle as well. I will try next to go back to 2.8.2 and try again.

Also, I could use some help on finding the cause.
