[CMake] CMake, Visual Studio and cross-compilation.

[Max Savenkov]

Thank you. It's nice to see somebody already worked on NVidia NSight 
addition. As with -T option, it unfortunately does not help, since I not 
only need to choose a platform toolset, but an entirely different 
platform (like Win32 or x64, named "Emscripten"). From what I've read, 
there is no way to do it in CMake, short of adding ANOTHER generator, 
like they did with NSight, "Visual Studio 10 2010 Emscripten" or 
something. I don't like this, because multiplying number of generators 
by number of VS versions seems like an awful idea, but maybe it's OK, 
since project generation for Visual Studio is such a special case 
anyway... Guess I can try to create a patch similar to one for NSight, 
because vs-android (on which NSight is based) and vs-tool are fairly 
similar too...
