[CMake] Visual Studio platform name ("Win32", "x64") back on CMake GUI window?

Previous versions of CMake GUI (prior to CMake 3.14) always displayed 
the name of the selected platform (typically "Win32" or "Win64") with 
the current generator, for example:

   "Current Generator: Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"

It was very convenient to have the platform name displayed on the main 
window of the CMake GUI.

When a new Visual Studio project is generated "from scratch" by CMake 
3.14, the platform name is no longer displayed with the Current 
Generator. As I just tested with CMake 3.14.4, generating for VS2017 
x64.

Would it be possible to get the VS platform name back onto the CMake GUI 
main window?


Kind regards, Niels
