[CMake] Visual Studio and /STACK

 This behavior has existed for a long long time.

Sorry for the extra effort you had to expend tracking down a mysterious 
problem because of this change. I remember having some discussions 
(probably just verbal, though, I can't find anything in email or bug 
tracker) about whether this "simple change" should have a policy, and 
we decided not to because we thought "out of stack space" errors would 
be relatively easy to identify and correct in projects that require 
large stack space.

Out of curiosity, if you can share details, why did it take so long to 
identify the problem in your case? (Or was it immediately obvious, and 
you just took that long to trace it back to a CMake change....?)
