Use the suggestion from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2262855 to escape
semicolons in preprocessor definitions for VS >= 10. Update the
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS documentation disclaimer list of known limitations
accordingly. Update our "Preprocess" test to cover the case.

For Visual Studio using the Preprocessor Define _SBCS. This behavior
is similar to the way that _UNICODE and _MBCS work already.
Added tests to confirm this behavior.
Since the parent commit the local generator Version ivar may be
compared for ordering. Convert comparisons:
"==VS10" becomes ">=VS10"
"!=VS10" becomes "< VS10"
to support an explicit enumeration value for VS11 with no change
in behavior.
Move the Version member to the top cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator class
and set it consistently for instances created by all the global
generator versions. Use an enumeration type with values scaled by a
factor of 10 so we can handle VS 7.1 without out-of-order numbers.
VS 7.1 support for SuppressStartupBanner was broken by commit 25116a3c
(Fix CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE for VS10 vcxproj files, 2011-10-11) because
it assumed comparison of VS version numbers works. Now it does.
To get rc defines to work in the VS10 IDE requires \" when
constructing PreprocessorDefinitions strings. This is different
than defines for cl.
Also, per-file rc defines were not being generated. Fix that, too.
For prior versions of Visual Studio we would intentionally pass
"/nologo-" for "verbose makefiles" (CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
when the caller did not already explicitly specify either /nologo
or /nologo-. And we still do. For the prior versions.
This had the side effect of always passing /nologo- for try_compile
operations because try_compile generates projects that have verbose
makefiles on.
However, starting with Visual Studio 10, the compiler emits
"cl ... warning D9035: option 'nologo-' has been deprecated"
when passed "/nologo-".
Therefore, this commit removes setting "/nologo-" for verbose
makefiles in the Visual Studio 10 case to avoid emitting a
warning for every single invocation of the compiler in a given
build.
With Visual Studio 10, we do not set this flag either way
and therefore, the generated project has no value for this
setting and gets Visual Studio's default value, which is
of course "/nologo", which does not produce a warning.
With Visual Studio 10, a caller can still force "/nologo-"
if desired by adding it explicitly to CMAKE_C_FLAGS or
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
Look for the "/threads", "/libs:dll", and "/dbglibs" flags and convert
them to the proper RuntimeLibrary attribute value in the IDE. This is
a 3-to-1 flag mapping and such needs special handling in the parser.
Separation by ',' only works in VS 2008 and below and does not work in
the PlayStation3 VS plugin. Separation by ';' works in VS 10 and all
prior versions.
