Summary0015750: setting COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> is broken

Steps To Reproduce1. Unzip the included hello world project.
2. Run "cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .
3. Open the project in Visual Studio 2008.
4. Go to project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor and see that the definition did not apply.

 This is documented behavior:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/prop_tgt/COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_CONFIG.html [^]
 Ignored. See CMake Policy CMP0043.

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/policy/CMP0043.html [^]

Your example does

 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)

which sets CMP0043 to NEW.
