[Cmake] CMake doesn't work with latest VS7 release

[Bill Hoffman]

Try editing Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake
and Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake.

Remove the FATAL_ERROR from the messages when the
try compile fails.  That should get you some generated
projects, as long as the projects do not use the 
TRY_COMPILE command.
