I am pretty sure ExternalProject_Add only works with generators
associated with build commands you can run from the command line such
as make, nmake, jom, ninja, etc..  So, for MSVC the way you arrange that is
avoid all the visual studio generators, and instead use one of
"NMake Makefiles", "NMake Makefiles JOM", or "Ninja".
