I did some more thorough testing and ran into an issue when
USE_FOLDERS is enabled. The problem is actually the same one affecting
the ALL_BUILD target that is preventing it from being grouped with the
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER as it should be. It's not actually the first
target in a .sln file that is treated as the default startup project,
but rather the first _fully defined target_. See this SO comment
thread:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/694730/why-is-set-as-startup-option-stored-in-the-suo-file-and-not-the-sln-file#comment40597475_1808352

The solution is to just list all folders in the .sln file first (patch
0002). With the fix in patch 0002, ALL_BUILD can then be put in
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER (patch 0003).
