[CMake] Set Visual Studio parameters not supported directly by CMake

[Parag Chandra]

I asked about this a while back; I think it comes up repeatedly. The short 
answer seems to be that this is not supported, by design, so I have simply 
taken to post-processing the generated solutions with Python/Gradle 
scripts. Not ideal, but it has been working well enough for me.
