Summary:                    Visual Studio project wrong AssemblerListingLocation
(/Fa) default (and override!)
Description: 
Using the Visual Studio 11 (Win64) generator, I get .vcxproj with the option
<AssemblerListingLocation> set to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE (Debug, Release, etc...),
i.e:

<AssemblerListingLocation>Debug<AssemblerListingLocation>

If I explicitly set this option (e.g. /Fa$(IntDir) or /FaDebug\), the project
file will contain two AssemblerListingLocation definitions per build type, the
last one taking precedence over the first one. The last one is the CMake's
default.

It is indeed a problem not to let me set my own variable, but the main problem
is that the default is wrong. Setting it to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE will generate build
errors when specifying the Generate Assembly options (/FA family) since Visual
Studio will consider CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE a file name instead of a directory name
(i.e. Debug instead of Debug\) and so fail to compile multiple files (error
D8036: '/FaDebug' not allowed with multiple source files).

Steps to Reproduce: 
Generate a simple Visual Studio project with more than one file to build (.cpp).
Set VS to generate assembly files (e.g. /FA).
