Missing "NMake Makefiles" support

[gvanem]

Trying to build with cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" .. gave an error in prj/NAppGenerators.cmake:

CMake Error at prj/NAppGenerators.cmake:31 (message):
  Unsuported generator: NMake Makefiles

But after adding this:

it works fine with NMake too. But what does PARENT_SCOPE mean?

Hi @gvanem!
NMake is still not oficially supported by NAppGUI build system. I will include ASAP and tested in NAppGUI CI/CD.

Using nmake -U is handy to see excactly what the CMake crap produces. Since I had problems
understanding how res_glhello.[ch] were generated. BTW, this nrc tool should be improved; very cryptic now.
