[Cmake] subsystem:windows (MS Visual Studio 7 specific?)

[Bill Hoffman]

You have to use the WIN32 option for ADD_EXECUTABLE:

ADD_EXECUTABLE - Add an executable to the project that uses the specified source files. 
Usage: ADD_EXECUTABLE(exename [WIN32] source1 source2 ... sourceN) This command adds an executable target to the current directory. The executable will be built from the list of source files specified. The second argument to this command can be WIN32 which indicates that the executable (when compiled on windows) is a windows app (using WinMain) not a console app (using main).
