Thanks for adding this Bill. With the exception of dealing with MinGW
or differing versions of MSVC this would seem to be a very good
replacement for conditionals like:
IF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC)
IF(MSVC)
Is this feature here to stay? The documentation doesn't seem very
encouraging. =)

This is used in determining the compiler and is subject to change.
OK, so this is not so reliable. Right now it is even set for MSVC IDE
builds. Also, we wanted to be able to change it in the future.
However, it does seem useful. We would have to figure out a way to
drive this from the IDE's to get the correct answers. It is a
bootstrapping issue. Right now for makefiles this is done with an
execute_process on the compiler. That would have to be different for
IDE builds.
