[CMake] VCProj Files: Precompiled headers

[Ryan Connelly]

I am glad that speedy posted that fix. I am in the process of patching 
my cmake build and compiling for vs2005.

I hope that this patch or a similar fix is added to the next stable version of CMAKE. It would make our lives easier for sure. Thanks again speedy.
