I'd still like to have the granularity of the 
CMAKE_MSVC_NO_DEPRECATE_LIST approach, but agree with your argument for 
preserving native platform behavior.  We could just put the default list 
setting in a module that users can include to get the behavior:

# Custom deprecation disable list
SET(CMAKE_MSVC_NO_DEPRECATE_LIST ${MY_CUSTOM_LIST})

or

# Default deprecation disable list
INCLUDE(VisualStudioNoDeprecate)

Since the module is not included by default the native behavior is 
preserved.

Alternatively we could just provide the default list in a variable:

# Default deprecation disable list
SET(CMAKE_MSVC_NO_DEPRECATE_LIST
   ${CMAKE_MSVC_NO_DEPRECATE_LIST_DEFAULT})
