[CMake] XP toolset for VC++2012

[Nils Gladitz]

According to
     http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13774
and
     http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10722

it sounds like cmake-gui support is being worked on.
I assume if it isn't in 2.8.11-rc4 it won't be in 2.8.11 either.

In one of the notes Brad suggests setting CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET in the 
cache before configuring (which is what you have been doing).

As such it might be the way to go (at least until "first-class" support 
in cmake-gui is available).
