With CMAKE\_VERBOSE\_MAKEFILE turned off, MSVC tools (cl, link, …) are passed the “-nologo” flag but RC isn’t.

Hacking nologo into CMAKE\_RC\_FLAGS solves the issue but is admittedly sub-optimal.

```
set(CMAKE_RC_FLAGS "-nologo ${CMAKE_RC_FLAGS}")
```

At one time `rc` did not support the `-nologo` flag. I think it may be supported by toolsets coming with VS 2010+ but not VS 2008 or older. I’d welcome a change adding the flag, but it would have to be conditional.
