[CMake] Compile project as C++ if MSVC

Hi,

Visual C++ 2010 does not support C99 yet and it seems it will be a
long time before MSVC supports it. For now, the usual work-around is
to build the project as C++.

I'd like to build as C if using mingw, and as C++ if using MSVC. How
can I do that? project() seems not to be valid here (I can't do
if(MSVC) before project()) and I cannot find a target property to say
"compile as language CXX"

Thank you
