[CMake] /STACK:10000000 being added to linker in Visual Studio?

[Robert Dailey]

Yeah certainly, especially since multicore is pretty much everywhere now
and most applications are designed with parallelization in mind.

Like every other compiler and linker flag out there, have the user manually
set that up if they want it. CMake doesn't automatically add any other
compiler flags for me, so /STACK shouldn't be any different IMHO.

Thanks for your help, I will try using those new global variables.
