[CMake] Studio 8 generation of files doesn't use CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS?

Hi Brad,

I had a follow up question about this...

Without distributing a CMakeCache.txt file, how would I go accomplishing
this example:

I'd like 

(1) CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to use "/nologo /W3 /GX /Gy /YX", instead of the
defaults that are provided by CMake. 
(2) At the same time, I want these flags to be presented visibly to the user
in the CMake GUI. 
(3) Finally, I want any changes to these flags to be used in the actual
project make files that are generated.

It's clear to me that for #3, I use SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
"${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}"). It's not clear to me how to accomplish #1 and #2 at
the same time.

Thanks,
