[cmake-developers] [Patch] Timestamp of VS-generator rule files

[Mike.Pagel at bmw.de]

As requested, I put the patch right into the VS10 target generator. Please note that this requires a new dependency on <windows.h>, which was _not_ there before. I tried to stick to the existing style. Please let me know if I need to use different APIs or anything else needs to be improved.

Thanks,
Mike

Until the functionality is needed elsewhere I see no reason not to just
put it right in the generator implementation.  If a more general purpose
for it is found later it can be refactored over to SystemTools and made
to work on more platforms.  No need for that yet though.

Thanks,
