[cmake-developers] EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD testing

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Brad.

Now that 2.8.10 is released, do you think you'd have time to come back to
my patch for per-config EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD?

I verified that the tests fail when CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM points to msbuild,
because 'cmake --build' does not operate on the .sln in such case. This
means it makes no sense to run the tests when using msbuild. Shall I send
you a patch to disable the tests for it? And if so, on what commit should I
base it?
