[CMake] How to have Visual Studio 15 2017 actually use a 64 bit toolchain.

[Michael Jackson]

That will NOT use the x64 tool chain. It will use the 32 bit tool chain to produce a 64 bit binary, but NOT use the 64 bit compiler. 

Looks like there are 3 ways to do it:

Either hack the project file or set an environment variable or use the -T host=x64" option with compiling (as Volker just mentioned).
