[CMake] VS-C++ Express Version

[Philip Lowman]

David,

Thanks for the clarification.  I missed the filters part in the original
message and don't have VS10.

Does VS10 still have the same problem with there not being a "Reload All"
button for modified project files that previous versions of VS had?  If this
small feature were added by Microsoft there would be no need for all of the
crazy macro stuff.
