For each toolset that comes with this version of Visual Studio, there are
variants that are themselves compiled for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) hosts
(independent of the architecture they target).  By default Visual Studio
chooses the 32-bit variant even on a 64-bit host.  One may request use of the
64-bit host tools by adding a ``host=x64`` option to the toolset specification.
See the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` variable for details.
