[CMake] Visual Studio parallel builds

[Bill Hoffman]

The best you can do, is to use the unix makefile generator on windows with cl as
the compiler.  Then use gmake -j2  to do the parallel build.  However, you have
to change the flags for cl so it does not use a program database or pdb file for
debug information.   I think it is -Z7 or something like that.   The pdb  file can
not be written by more than one program at a time, and there is one per directory
not file.
