Summary:                    CxxTest source files are compiled in Visual Studio
10 though they shouldn't
Description: 
The source files containing the actual test sources (i.e. the input files to
test generantion) are compiled as though there were actual source files in
Visual Studio 10 if they have a .cpp extension.
But since they can't be compiled standalone it would be desireable to have them
only show up in the project, but be excluded from actual compilation. This can
be done by tagging the test source files as "header files only" (see attached
patch).

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create a CxxTest with the input files having an .cpp extension:
CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(test_UnicodeStream test_generated.cpp my_test_input.cpp)
2. Generate a Visual Studio 10 project.
3. Compile: my_test_input.cpp is being compiled, which fails.
