[CMake] Small nitpick...

[Phillip Hellewell]

Hi,

Recently a bug fix was made to VS.Net 2003 generator to allow source files
with the same.

The fix was to specify an ObjectFile for each and every source file, so that
they would be guaranteed to be unique.

Unfortunately, even with CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE set to FALSE, what you end
up with now is the following:

Compiling...
stringutils_test.cpp
Compiling...
operations_test.cpp
Compiling...
path_test.cpp
Compiling...
main.cpp
Compiling...
convert.cpp

Visual studio is so dumb that it just has to print out "Compiling..." before
each and every file that has an ObjectFile specified.  It really gets in the
way and makes it harder to see what is currently being compiled.

I know it is just a nitpick, but I really wish I knew how to get rid of
those "Compiling..." lines.

One solution would be to alter cmake to only specify ObjectFile for source
files that actually have conflicting name.  But that may be harder to
implement.

I would much rather just find a way to make VS.Net stop printing them out.
It seems like VS.Net is the one being dumb.  Any ideas...?
