The real solution is to create a new sub-class of the visual studio 
generator for the intel compiler, or maybe it is just a flag on the 
existing generator.  Calling ICProjConvert seems like a bad idea, and I 
would not accept a generator based on that solution into CMake.

This stuff is stored in a binary file that CMake can not write. 
However, the order of the projects in the .sln file seems to determine 
the startup project, so this could be done by changing that order.  RC 
15 does something different with the order, and should be more 
consistent.  However, the VS startup target is still not specifiable.  I 
think there is a feature request for this in the bug tracker...
