[CMake] movable (Visual Studio) project files

Hi all,
I'm getting repeated questions from other developers at my company about
why the project files CMake generates for Visual Studio aren't movable,
so I sat down, created a minimal project, switched on the
CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS flag, and ran cmake. It turns out that there
are actually only two places where there still are absolute paths:
1. The description field for custom rule steps.
2. The ProgramDataBaseFileName attribute in the VCCLCompilerTool element.
The first issue I can live with, but the second issue shouldn't be too
difficult to fix, right? As far as I can see from just studying the
source code, its a small matter of changing one method in the
cmTarget.cxx file.
Are there any other issues which prevent Visual Studio project files
from being moved?
