Summary:                    missing file causes an empty solution
Description: 
When one (or more) file(s) listed in CMakeLists is not found the VS2008 solution
becomes empty and it's not possible to recovery it anymore by VS2008.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1 - Create a VS2008 solution based on a correct CMakeLists.txt
2 - Open the solution and edit CMakeLists.txt  adding a non-existent file into
the list of sources.
3 - Build the solution (F7 is my shortcut)
4 - It appears  the message: << The solution 'name' has been modified outside
the environment. Press Reload to load the update solution from disk.
Press Ignore to ignore the external changes. The changes will be used the next
time you open the solution. >>
5 - If you press Reload, VS2008 will open a solution containing none projects,
so it's not possible to recovery the situation. The only way is to fix the
CMakeLists.txt by an external editor and generate the solution again by using
cmake-gui or cmake command line.
