[CMake] CMake and multiple Microsoft compilers on windows

[John Drescher]

On my windows XP box, I have VC6, 2003, 2005 and 2008 installed and I
have selected VS2005 for the build however all the CMake checks are
happening for VC6. It does not seem to cause any harm but what about
header and library differences between the compilers? I mean all the
checks for stl ... are probably for the stl that is included with vc6
and not vs2005 (which I know is not the same).
