What I meant to say: the .NET in the name is not important, being it the 
official product name or not. 7/8/9/10 or [.NET] 2003/2005/2008/2010, who cares.
I find it more strange that everyone of those needs its own generator. After 
all, cmake could perfectly auto-detect this from the version of cl.exe.
