[CMake] generate VC project w/o VS installed.

[Sylvain Benner]

你好！

If this feature is not directly supported by CMake, there is a work around. 

Run CMake in an environment with Visual Studio installed and back up the cache files (folderCMakeFiles and file CMakeCache.txt).
Then copy these files on your computer which does not have Visual Studio installed. It should bypass the compiler tests etc...
I use it to generate XCode projects on a Windows XP OS and it works pretty well.

  HI, all.

  How can I generate VC project and solution files on machine WITHOUT Visual Studio installed?

  If I run "cmake .", I'll get error message like this:

  CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio 6".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
  CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:D:/chenli/tmp/a/CMakeFiles/CMakeCCompiler.cmake 
  CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:D:/chenli/tmp/a/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
   
  I've also tried using -G parameter to specify generator to "Visual Studio 8 2005", but no luck.

  I'm really new to cmake. So if this question is basic, please forgive me. I've read FAQ and googled, still no answer :(

  Thanks.
  -Chen
