[CMake] add_subdirectory with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL and cmake --build (Visual Studio)

Fri Jul 29 02:16:49 EDT 2016

I just noticed the following issue:

If I do an add_subdirectory([...] EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL) and generate a VS (2015) solution, projects added in that subdirectory generate an entirely separate solution (and therefore do not appear in the main solution at all) in the corresponding binary dir subfolder. This causes a cmake -build ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} to fail, unlike other generators. Is this intended behavior? It seems odd not to have the targets in the same solution at all
