Make a common function that prints the status during the checks for working compilers. Call it from all of the CMakeTesten_US.UTF-8Compiler.cmake files. In the message, print the full path to the tested compiler only for the Makefile generators. For Xcode and Visual Studio generators, print the generator instead so that users are not misled with the full path to a compiler that the generator may not even use. Xcode and Visual Studio have their own mechanisms for choosing the compiler to use during try_compile and build...
