[CMake] About Visual Studio 6 generator

[Sylvain Prat]

Just to know, what was the problem with the custom rules "from visual" ? I didn't say it was ugly (even if I think it is :p), I just want to know how it work so that I'll fully understand how visual projects are built. That's because I plan to post a patch for a software (Code::Blocks) which imports visual workspaces. Maybe I should consider adding a new generator for it, but I don't feel courageous enough to write it!
