[CMake] Using cmake to configure a 32 bit project on Windows 64 Bit OS

[Mike Jackson]

Evidently, after a bunch of google searches the problem is that the
VS2008 installer does not seem to install the 32 bit cl.exe programs
unless you choose to install EVERYTHING. I most likely did not select
that option as all I wanted was C++ development. I didn't see the need
for the VB, C# and Web stuff. Stupid Me...
