[CMake] Proposal for new generator options

If you are the author of some software then this is fine. But I have the 
case where I have
to use some existing visual studio projects using /MT and a cmake 
project, both of which
I am not the maintainer and therefore changes cannot be made. So it was 
quite complicated
to get it working.

But what is against my proposal of splitting the -G option? for visual 
studio there are
two more platforms except Win32 and Win64, some smartphone and mobile stuff.
So the number of generators will explode anyway. with four versions and 
four platforms
this are a whopping number of 16 generators for visual studio alone.
