[CMake] Visual Studio 2013, increamental builds, intermediate directories and long target names

[david_bjornbak at keysight.com]

Unfortunately, we're hitting an issue migrating from VS 2012 to VS 2103 with Cmake working with long target names.

Apparently the only know workarounds to the issues listed below is to shorten target names but,  we're working with fairly long set of projects and it's not practical to rename the target names involved.   Imaging going through something twice the size of VTK and changing target names and keeping the meaning of the names.

I didn't look into the cmake source code around this yet but, I wanted to see if this issue is viewed as a Microsoft limitation that's not practical to code around or not.
