[CMake] How to create a custom solution with Visual Studio 2010 generator?

Hmm; I was going to check to see if .sln's were made in subdirs... and
they are... wonder if it was always taht way.
But... the projects deeper in the tree only have those things that it
depended on... so I don't get why you say 'the amount of projects
increases the further you go'   Yes... high level projects will have
all of their dependancies but nothing extra...

isn't it already making the minimal solutions you're suggesting you
make by hand anyway?

Other than as I use this; the Install rule in the sub-solution doesn't
install everything...
could wish the OutputPath cmake built was relative to the solution
instead of the projects... then at least nothing funky would have to
be done to run applications from the debugger; other than data
resources could still be missing.
