There won't be much need for VS2005 these days (in fact, even I only use 
it for 1 project).

In theory though, CMake can generate MSVC project files for more recent 
versions of Visual Studio (which I guess would also have the 'Intrinsic' 
value set incorrectly).  Having said that, I just tried building with 
CMake and VC14 (Visual Studio 2015) and I was surprised to find that the 
CMake build failed (apparently while generating the file:- 
'CompilerIdC.vcxproj')

I haven't looked into it in any depth so it could easily be a 
configuration issue at my end.  Or is VS2010 the latest version that can 
build freetype2?
