Hello, we want to use the Visual Studio IDE with the Intel C++ compiler. The 
Intel compiler integrates neatly with the IDE, you right click on a project or 
solution and select "use Intel C++" or "use Visual C++" to switch between 
compilers. I have added the following option to our CMake file:

    option( INTEL_COMPILER "Use the Intel compiler." ON )

Currently I use this flag to decide which set of boost libraries to link to. I 
also want to use this flag to tell the IDE which compiler to use however I 
cannot find a way to do this. It is not nice to have to remember to manually 
switch to the Intel compiler after running CMake, especially as this does a 
clean of your solution. Does anyone know please a way to get CMake to tell 
Visual Studio which complier to use?

Note when you select the Intel complier for a particular project in the IDE a 
"<PlatformToolset>Intel C++ Compiler XE 13.0</PlatformToolset>" get added to 
the "PropertyGroup" sections of the project's .vcxproj file.

Thank you,
John W
