Subject: [CMake] MSVC version string

Hi everybody,

is there a way to get MSVC's version string (for the current generator) in form 12.0 for VS2013 as per this page<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.4/variable/MSVC_VERSION.html>? Or is my best bet big if/else of the style:

if (MSVC_VERSION EQUAL 1800)
set(boost_toolset "msvc-12.0")
elseif(MSVC_VERSION EQUAL 1900)
set(boost_toolset "msvc-14.0")
...
