Hi

Recent thread titled "CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set." shows cmake needs
some environment variables to find VS command line tools.
Setting of these variables is done by running a bat file that comes with
VS. This seems a little fragile.

Would it be a good idea to make cmake be able to find VS even if these
environment variables weren't set? Maybe using registry or just looking
at default installation folder?

That is by design. Even if CMake did find them, the user would still need to set them in order to use the command line tools. CMake makes the simple assumption that the compiler is installed and running in the environment CMake is running in.
