Yes, something like that in cmake::CreateGlobalGenerator will work.
It will be nice to get rid of the platform-varied generator classes.
The reference documentation we generate explicitly lists all names
with the platforms right now. That will have to be refactored to
list the platformless names with a note about where to specify the
platform name. Then we need a per-generator list of platform names
along with a note that one specifies "Win32" by leaving the platform
name off.
Thanks,
