AW: [CMake] CMakeSetup requires elevation on Vista

[Gerhard Grimm]

The manifest tool (mt.exe) is included in the Microsoft Windows SDK, Version 6.0 - which BTW also includes the complete VC++ 8 compiler and runtime libraries. It's called "Windows SDK for Windows Vista", but can also be used on Windows XP. The SDK installer can be downloaded from Microsoft's website.

All I really care about is the official binary that I make form Kitware. 
  I am not sure vs8 is actually required, I think all you need is the mt 
tool from vs8.  There maybe a way to get that tool and use it from vs7. 
  Basically, the fix is to embed some xml into the .exe.
