Teach the VS >= 10 generators to recognize these system names and select
the appropriate default toolset for the system version. Report an error
when the version is not known to be supported by VS.

Ask the global generator during generation instead of trying
to store it up front. Later the global generator may not know
the platform name when it is creating the local generator.
Remove the general infrastructure for these additional platform
definitions and hard-code the only two special cases that used
it. They are only for historical reasons so no new such cases
should be added.
Divide the cmGlobalVisualStudio10Generator "PlatformToolset" member into
two members representing the generator-selected default toolset and the
user-specified CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET value. Prefer the user-specified
value, if any, and then fall back to the generator-selected default.
Drop the "Modules/CMakeVS*FindMake.cmake" files. Override the
cmGlobalGenerator::FindMakeProgram method for VS generators to use their
internal APIs to locate the build tool. Set the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM as a
normal variable for use by project code, but do not cache it. This will
allow CMake and CTest to select the proper tool at build time.
Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
Since we do not need the information about the target architecture
we can use the PlatformName only to specify the this information.
This also removes setting of the MSVC_*_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
which is not required, because this variable gets set by the
compiler detection code in CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK().
Add to the brief documentation of the Visual Studio 10, 11, and 12
generators the corresponding VS product year. Clarify that VS11 is for
Visual Studio 2012, and VS12 is for Visual Studio 2013.
Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio11Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio12Generator
and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS12 enumeration value.
Add module CMakeVS12FindMake to find MSBuild. Look for MSBuild in its
now-dedicated Windows Registry entry. Teach the platform module
Windows-MSVC to set MSVC12 and document the variable. Teach module
InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to look for the VS 12 runtime libraries.
Teach tests CheckCompilerRelatedVariables, Preprocess, VSExternalInclude,
and RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 12 as they do VS 10 and 11.
