[CMake] Problem with VS 7.0/7.1 generators

[William A. Hoffman]

What version of cmake are you using?  Sounds like a bug, but cmake
itself adds a .rc file to the build so I am bit surprised that it does
not work??

You can get it to build correctly by setting the .rc to compile with the resource compiler tool and excluding the .def from the build, but shouldn't cmake do this automatically? Am I doing something wrong?
