Adding these options requires modification of the CMake C++ code that
generates project files.  It contains a mapping of command line flags to
IDE project file options.  These flags have to be added to the map, and
then your project would have to specify the flags.

You can try using the NMake Makefiles generator to get things working
now since adding the flags in your project would be sufficient.

You can submit a feature request here to get the IDE mapping:
