That was a mistake.

We should put it back.

As I understand it the generator suffixes aren't the preferred method to pick the architecture anymore.

You can now use the "-A x64" option with the visual studio generators instead.

Also it looks like the supported target platforms aren't a fixed list that can be easily enumerated (e.g. <WinCE-SDK> [1])

Maybe instead of listing all known permutations in --help each generator (where the option is supported) could be listed with a well known subset of supported target platforms.
