[CMake] CMake Server Mode and USE_FOLDERS

[Florent Castelli]

 From what I've read from the VS CMake team at Microsoft in various blog 
posts and online discussions, they plan to have actual targets someday 
in VS instead of the "Open folder" structure they currently have with 
their integration. So right now, that information wouldn't be of any use 
for them since they don't even have a flat list of projects.
It just takes time! Seeing from the progress they've made, I'm sure it 
will eventually come to the product.
