I don't think we have given up, but we are certainly at a technical 
roadblock.   No really has a solution that will work consistently.

To give a background, the auto-running of cmake when input files change, 
and the subsequent reloading of the project in the VS 10 IDE is not 
always working.  In VS 8 and 9, we have a solution that works pretty 
well.   It does something like this:


1. cmake is run when any of its input files are changed
2. if cmake finds a running VS IDE that has the same project loaded
    - It pops up a dialog that gives the user the chance to:
       - stop the current build and reload the project

This is done with a VS macro that is installed by cmake.

This fails to work well in VS 10.
