I "may" have a problem with Visual Studio 2010 generator.
The concerned project CERTI (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/certi)
builds fine on on several using CMake.

But when we try to build CERTI with CMake 2.8.2 (or 2.8.3rc4) we get
a solution file which fails to load completely because because one vcproj
contains an apparently mis-closed statement:

offending lines are those one:
[...]
    <None Include="..\..\certi-HEAD\libHLA\HLAvariantRecord.hh" />
    <ClInclude Include="..\..\certi-HEAD\libHLA\sha1.h">
      <ObjectFileName>$(IntDir)/sha1.obj</ObjectFileName>
    </ClCompile>
    <None Include="..\..\certi-HEAD\libHLA\Clock.hh" />
[...]

i.e. the <ClInclude Include ...>
is closed by a
   </ClCompile>

The corresponding source code may be found there:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/certi/?root=certi.

I'm not sure I will have the time to build a smaller example.

Note that the same source tree is working well using any
other CMake generators (Visual Studio or Code::Blocks etc...)
so the problem seems to be particular to VS2010.
