Summary:                    ZERO_CHECK.vcxproj referenced despite
CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION set to FALSE
Description: 
I have a collection of predefined .vcxproj files and I use CMake to generate
.sln file gathering all the projects.

In my CMakeLists.txt I set CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION to FALSE to prevent
generating of ZERO_CHECK.vcxproj, but GUID of the ZERO_CHECK is still
referenced.

It is, the generated .sln file still gets this postProject section generated

Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "cmake_test",
"cmake_test.vcxproj", "{A4C50E61-87B4-44A9-975E-CDC1649CB0DC}"
	ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
		{AB7E8FC6-757B-400A-AC2A-E4192A4C124E} =
{AB7E8FC6-757B-400A-AC2A-E4192A4C124E}
	EndProjectSection
EndProject


where cmake_test is predefiend (not generated) project and
AB7E8FC6-757B-400A-AC2A-E4192A4C124E is GUID of non-existent ZERO_CHECK project.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create "Win32 Console Application" using VS IDE (name used below: cmake_test)

2. Create CMakeLists.txt file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(cmake_test_gen NONE)
set(CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION TRUE)
include_external_msproject(cmake_test cmake_test.vcxproj)

3. Try to build using the generated .sln file:

> msbuild  cmake_test_gen.sln

this GUID was not found in the .SLN file.

4. Remove set(CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION TRUE) from CMakeLists.txt

5. Re-generate the .sln file and re-build 

cmake .
msbuild cmake_test_gen.sln


Observe the build in step 5 succeeds.

Additional Information: 
I use Visual Studio 2012.
