Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project files.
-It is possible to append a space followed by the platform name to
-create project files for a specific target platform. E.g. "Visual
-Studio 9 2008 Win64" will create project files for the x64 processor;
-"Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64" for Itanium.
+The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set
+to specify a target platform name.
+
+For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
+a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:
+
+``Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64``
+ Specify target platform ``x64``.
+
+``Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64``
+ Specify target platform ``Itanium``.
+
+``Visual Studio 9 2008 <WinCE-SDK>``
+ Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
