CMake defaults to the newest known and available visual studio generator.

The current visual studio command line environment is neither required for
the visual studio generators nor does it influence which generator CMake
picks.

The environment matters when you are using one of the makefile or ninja
generators though since CMake will then use it to locate the compilers.
