[CMake] visual studio macros

[David Cole]

After emailing directly with Tom, I realized I misinterpreted this
code when I replied to the list....

He has the problem with a 64-bit build of CMake itself, I think:

"You built a 64-bit CMake? That might be the explanation. Try building
a 32-bit one instead. Or simply use Kitware's pre-built 32-bit
binaries. They work just fine on 64-bit Windows systems..."

Tom, please let us know if a 32-bit CMake fixes this issue for you or not.


Thanks,
David C.
