[CMake] CMake and VS Community Edition

[Andrew Maclean]

Just playing around with Visual Studio Community Edition.

I had VS 2013 Express installed and I found it best to uninstall it as the
same functionality (and more) is in the community edition.

The reason that I uninstalled it is that when CMake builds the solution
file (if both are installed) the  the Microsoft Visual Studio Version
Selector will select VS 2013 Express.

This is because the first two lines of the solution file read:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop

So it is finding VS Express 2013 by default.

Uninstalling VS 2013 Express produces the correct solution file:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2013

I only picked this up because I use the Microsoft Visual Studio Version
Selector to open the *.sln file by default.

Tested on CMake 3.0.2 and the pre-release version CMake 3.1.20141119

VS 2013 Community Edition will happily use the VS Express 2013 solution
file.

Regards
   Andrew
