> Here comes a new version of this patch. In this version, ARM are also
> supported. Modifications include:
> 1. Determine MSVC ARM compiler.
>    Cmake can determine and test VC's x86-arm compiler correctly, and mark
> it as cross compiling. This feature is inspired by Martell Malone's patch
> in http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13511#c32952.
> 2. Modify ARM's utility project to Win32 configuration.
>    Utility projects, such as ALL_BUILD and ZERO_CHECKS, can't be win store
> or ARM configuration. They are changed to Win32 by default.
>
> With this patch, any configuration targeting WinRT platform should be
> supported. The project files can be generated, built and depolyed well.

> In our project, we need to build an Win8+ Metro app. Currently the CMake

>> The requirements about it in our project are:
>> 1. The primary platform is x86 and x64.
>> 2. Support both MSBuild and VS2012+ for building.

>> 1. Add AppContainerApplication, ApplicationType,
>> MinimumVisualStudioVersion and ApplicationTypeRevision tags to vcxproj when
>> VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS is on.
>> 2. Recognize AppxManifest file type.
>> 3. A dedicated boolean source file property "VS_WINRT_CONTENT" is added.
>> Generator expressions is also supported here.
>> 4. Add "Deploy.0" in .sln for deploy WinRT apps by default, as WinCE apps
>> do.
>> 5. Add PackageCertificateKeyFile tag to vcxproj for package certification.
>>
>> After that, an app with x86 or x64 configuration can be correctly built
>> an packed. Do you have some more suggestions about this feature?
>> Thanks.
