Summary:                    CMakeDetermineRCCompiler does not correctly identify
GNU windres when cross-compiling
Description: 
I'm cross compiling on Linux with CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME set to Windows.

CmakeDetermineRCCompiler contains the following code:

GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(_CMAKE_RC_COMPILER_NAME_WE ${CMAKE_RC_COMPILER} NAME_WE)
IF(_CMAKE_RC_COMPILER_NAME_WE STREQUAL "windres")
  SET(CMAKE_RC_OUTPUT_EXTENSION .obj)
ELSE()
  SET(CMAKE_RC_OUTPUT_EXTENSION .res)
ENDIF()

CMAKE_C_COMPILER is set to 'i686-w64-mingw32-windres', therefore the above code
goes down the wrong branch, and ends up setting CMAKE_RC_OUTPUT_EXTENSION to
'.res'.

Additional Information: 
I'm actually trying to debug a separate problem: nothing is processing
Modules/Platform/Windows-windres.cmake and I don't know why. I mention this here
because I see the above code was added in the same commit that
Windows-windres.cmake was added:
