[CMake] exclude build project from solution

[Johan Björk]

And another update while at it.

The following cmake file illustrates the issue:

FILE(WRITE foo.c "")
add_library(foo EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.c)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD 1)
FILE(WRITE foobar.c "")
add_executable(foobar foobar.c)
target_link_libraries(foobar foo)

This works fine in the makefile (and xcode) generator, but fails in MSVC
2008 with
1>------ Skipped Build: Project: foo, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
2>------ Build started: Project: foobar, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
2>Compiling...
2>foobar.c
2>Compiling manifest to resources...
2>Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 6.0.5724.0
2>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
2>Linking...
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Debug\foo.lib'
2>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Felix Bruns\Documents\Visual
Studio 2008\Projects\a'\foobar.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
2>foobar - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
3>------ Skipped Build: Project: ALL_BUILD, Configuration: Debug Win32
------
3>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date, 2 skipped ==========

I'll file a bug.
