Summary:                    ".obj" or ".o" listed in ADD_LIBRARY does not get
included in Visual Studio project, NMake build works
Description: 
When adding an object-file (pre-compiled, available only in binary form from
3rd-party) to a library, the object file does not get included in the library
when built under Visual Studio (tried Visual Studio 10/2010 and 8/2005).

When using NMake, for both VS-10 and VS-8, the object is included correctly.

If the project file for the library is updated manually, by selecting the
project properties, and then adding the .o/.obj as an "Additional Dependencies"
for the Librarian properties, then the build works.



Steps to Reproduce: 
An example source tree and 2 build directories are attached.
