This was set to maxcpu which in an 8 core box would be 8, each project would then spawn
8 instances of cl.exe, making a possible of 64 simultaneously running compiler instances
slowing the compile down instead of speeding it up.
Currently the tests don't run on windows for the following reasons
1) render_graph_finalize has an linking issue due missing a bunch of libraries (not sure why this is not an issue for linux)
2) This one is more interesting, in test/python/cmakelists.txt ${TEST_BLENDER_EXE_BARE} and ${TEST_BLENDER_EXE} are flat out wrong, but for some reason this doesn't matter for most tests, cause ctest will actually go out and look for the executable and fix the path for you *BUT* only for the command, if you use them in any of the parameters it'll happily pass on the wrong path.
3) on linux you can just run a .py file, windows is not as awesome and needs to be told to run it with pyton.
4) had to use the NAME/COMMAND long form of add_test otherwise $<TARGET_FILE:blender> doesn't get expanded, why? beats me.
5) missing idiff.exe for msvc2015/x64 in the libs folder.
This patch addresses 1-4 , but given I have no working Linux build environment, I'm unsure if it'll break anything there
5 has been fixed in rBL61751

- Explicitly specify the platform for msbuild, to facilitate builds with just the Visual C++ Build Tools installed.
- When vs2013 is not found, try looking for 2015 as a fallback
- Clear up any batch variables that might have been set from previous runs
- The build folder name used to be depended on the order of the parameters, this is now normalized to
"build_windows_[Release/Full/Lite/Headless/Cycles/Bpy]_[x86/x64]_vc[12/14]_[Release/Debug]" regardless of the order of the parameters.
-Use CUDA8 for all kernels when building the release convenience target with visual studio 2015
New features:
1) Release target that checks for both cuda 7.5 and 8 with WITH_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES=ON and CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES_ARCH=sm_20;sm_21;sm_30;sm_35;sm_37;sm_50;sm_52;sm_60;sm_61 options set.
2) Option to switch between x86 and x64 builds, the default remains (auto detect the architecture) but can be overridden.
3) Option to switch between vs12(2013) and vs14(2015) default is 2013.
