Summary:                    Can't use assembler files with Visual Studio 10
generator
Description: 
With Visual Studio 2010 generator I can't use assembler files. If I try to use
them as supposed to:
* enable_lanuages(ASM_MASM)
* add_executable(... a.asm)
then generator will add a.asm to a project as custom-command file but without
any command associated with it (see bug#0008170)

If I try to use custom command I used for Visual Studio 8 and 9:
add_cusotom_command(
  DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/a.cxx
  OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a.obj
  COMMAND ml /c /coff /Zi
    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/a.cxx
    /Fo ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a.obj
    WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
)
then Visual Studio 10 fails to load generated project reporting:
  error: The item "a.obj" already exists under the filter ""
The code responsible for placing object files under unnamed filter is
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteObjSources. It doesn't check whether
object files came from a custom command.
