The -T option specifies the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET:

  https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.9/variable/CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.html

That value tells the VS generator what to put in the PlatformToolset
field of .vcxproj files.  This influences how the compiler identification
source is compiled, and that uses preprocessor logic to detect the compiler
id and version based on predefined macros.  The resulting compiler id is
used to decide which compiler/platform information modules to load.
