[CMake] rebuild forces reloading of all project in VS2008

[John Biddiscombe]

Yes. me too. it's very annoying. If a cmakelists file is touched when I 
build paraview (but individual projects are not actually changed), the 
entire 120 odd project/targets need to be reloaded and its quicker to 
just terminate the app and restart. For a while cmake did some sort of 
macro wizardry which automatically reloaded the solution. Then it 
stopped doing it (I'm using cmake 2.4.8 so probably I should upgrade).
