[CMake] Fwd: Visual Studio command line from CMake

[Robert Maynard]

Each Visual Studio sets a environment variable that helps you locate the
installed location. So for Visual Studio 2008 it is VS90COMNTOOLS, and for
Visual Studio 2010 it is
VS100COMNTOOLS. So you can have a single bat file that is configured by
cmake to determine both the correct env variable to use, and the proper
args to pass to vcvarsall.bat.
