Summary:                    Xcode project generator always overwrites user
settings
Description: 
When generating an Xcode project using CMake, it will completely remove
"<project name>.xcodeproj" before generating a new one. The problem with this is
that "<project name>.xcodeproj" is actually a folder, not a file.

Contained within this folder you will find the following:
project.pbxproj <-- The actual Xcode project information
<username>.pbxuser <-- Your user data for this project
<username>.mode1v3 (or something similar) <-- Your layout data for this project

When generating an Xcode project, it should *only* generate a new "<project
name>.xcodeproj" *if* one doesn't already exist. If one does already exist, it
*only* needs to change the pbxproj file inside to update the Xcode project. This
will allow CMake to be run without constantly losing your user settings which is
*very* annoying when you're working on a project with multiple executables as it
keeps forgetting which one you had selected!

Steps to Reproduce: 
Create an Xcode project using CMake
Change some user settings (such as the build target)
Regenerate the Xcode project and reload it in Xcode
Your changes will be lost
