[CMake] Default Generator to use

I just looked at "ActualConfigure()" function. This is the same as the one mentioned in Stackoverflow URL.

I think I will just create the correct entries in the registry and allow "CMAKE" to take the decision.
I won't pass any "-G" at all.

That's the most portable way as I look at it.

"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0;InstallDir]" -- seems to be the place.
But I really don't understand what is the ";" doing there.
Should I first create a 9.0 entry and then create an "InstallDir" inside it pointing to the directory where Visual Studio is installed?
Thanks for any help,

Best Regards,
Sarnath
