[CMake] How to embed the manifest file into DLLs and executables built with NMake?

[Pedro d'Aquino]

Hi Bill,

You are correct. The manifest file is indeed embedded into the binaries.
What confused me was the fact that a .manifest file is also generated, which
is the exact same behavior of Visual Studio when embedding is disabled.

Thanks,

Pedro
