No.  Unlike Xcode the number of different places that VS properties
go means there is no good equivalent to XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ for VS (or
any other generators AFAIK).

Nevertheless it is the cleanest path forward IMO.

Many of them are likely properties corresponding to specific build
flags.  The way this works for MS tools is to use the reverse mappings
builtin to CMake.  See Source/cmVS12CLFlagTable.h for example.  We
currently have no flag table for Nsight Tegra as mentioned in one
of the original commit messages:
