Thanks for the explanation Brad. This makes sense now.

I wasn't even aware of this variable. I now see it on the documentation:
  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#variable:CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR

Looking at my CMakeCache.txt (built with qtcreator) I see:
  CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR:INTERNAL=CodeBlocks

We could thus use something like:
  if( ("${CMAKE_GENERATOR}" MATCHES "Xcode|Visual Studio") OR
      ("${CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR}" MATCHES "CodeBlocks") )

Since I have never used Eclipse or KDevelop, I wouldn't now if it is
worth adding the corresponding checks.
