Summary:                    Target property INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is ignored in
Visual Studio Generator
Description: 
The INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property on a target appears to be ignored by the VS
generator.  Setting the property on the directory works fine.

Steps to Reproduce: 
CMakeLists.txt:

PROJECT(SomeProject)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

ADD_LIBRARY(HelloWorld HelloWorld.cpp)

IF(TRUE)
	# This doesn't work (despite being set correctly):
	SET_PROPERTY(TARGET HelloWorld APPEND PROPERTY INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"ThisIsATest")
	GET_TARGET_PROPERTY(_includeDirs HelloWorld INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
	MESSAGE("_includeDirs = ${_includeDirs}")
ELSE()
	# This works:
	SET_PROPERTY(DIRECTORY APPEND PROPERTY INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "ThisIsATest")
ENDIF()
