On second thought, since the Xcode generator already does this correctly
I think it is better to just fix the inconsistency.  I doubt anyone is
intentionally depending on compiling .m sources with the C++ compiler.
If it comes up we can add the CMake Policy for compatibility later.

It looks like this was reported and "fixed" in 2008:

 http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=7045

but the fix was not correct because the generators do not use the
cmSystemTools::GetFileFormat hard-coded table anymore.

I'll look at integrating the change.

Thanks,
