Summary:                    Explicit project type GUID needed with
INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT
Description: 
Currently, including an external Visual Studio project for a language other than
C++ with INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_MSPROJECT will lead to an invalid solution unless the
project type GUID is specified explicitly.  There is no reason why this should
be necessary for well-known standard project types (*.vbproj, *.csproj, etc.). 
Instead, CMake should be able to guess the correct GUID for these projects from
the project file extension.  I'm attaching a patch to implement this
functionality.
