[CMake] CMake support for Itanium builds with Visual Studio 2005

[Magnus Sirwiö]

We need to build our software for Windows Itanium. For this we use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with cross tools to generate executables for x86_amd64 and x86_ia64.

Compiling for x86_amd64 works fine with CMake but the x86_ia64 fails. Does somebody have a clue on howto fix this or that can provide pointers on howto patch cmake to support compiling for x86_ia64.
