[CMake] Configuring for VC9/2008 Express

[Thomas Sharpless]

Despite what it says in the Wiki, Visual C++ 2008 Express does not " work
nicely with cmake" for me.

I have cmake 2.4 patch 7, which I believe is the current release for
Windows.  As it does not offer a generator option for VC9, I selected
VC8/2005.

Then initial configuration fails because Visual Studio 2008 Express dislikes
the format of the .sln files and offers to convert them, a response that
cmake does not understand; so it won't generate project files (and if it
did, I presume those would need conversion too).

Is there a known workaround?

Thanks, Tom
