[CMake] can't generate WindowsPhone 8.1 projects

Tue Mar 15 19:59:52 EDT 2016

I think my problem was that I had a dev machine that had upgraded through
several Visual Studio versions.  Now that I'm using a fresh-install of
Visual Studio 2015, its working.  The use of the old compiler was
confusing, but if that's expected then that's ok.
