Oh, ok. I think I did not listen properly at that time :(.
Best I could come up now at the moment, would be to extend the factory
method facility
in the cmake::Generators map to allow attaching strings. Then in
cmake::AddDefaultGenerators
I would initiate the parsing of the vcpackages xml file that contains
the platform info. Then for
each platform I would add a VS8 or VS9 SDK Generator factory method
with the respective platform string
attached.

kind regards
