This looks okay to me.  Please extend the test suite to cover this
feature.  So far all VS features that we test have effects on the
generation that we can test explicitly.  In this case it looks like
we might not be able to test actually building such a project.  For
that, take a look at these test directories:

 Tests/RunCMake/SolutionGlobalSections
 Tests/RunCMake/XcodeProject

It tests running CMake and then parses the actual project file content
to check that it is as expected.  A similar test could be added for
VS .vcxproj content testing and used to cover this feature.

Thanks,
