[cmake-developers] Setting additional compile flags to .hlsl files?

[Robert Goulet]

Considering HLSL is DirectX only, I don't think we need (yet) to add it as a first-class language. And also because of time constraints, I might just go and add the COMPILE_FLAGS into the custom logic. I will send a patch when I can. Thanks!

Right now the Visual Studio generator has custom logic for .hlsl sources, so the rest of CMake knows nothing about them and treats them like .txt files.  So, one could either add more custom logic to the VS .hlsl support to honor COMPILE_FLAGS, or add the needed infrastructure for enable_language(HLSL).  The latter approach is much more general.
