Eric,

Why do you need to do this. There was a problem with standard system
includes (which should be fixed in the latest cmake version), but
includes that you add with the cmake include_directories command
should be picked up by the generator. The generator produces a set of
pathentry lines such as:

<pathentry include="<path>" kind="inc" path="" system="true" />

Is this not working for you?

Could you diff the .cproject/.project files at points in time before
and after the above change to see what is changing when you make the
changes through the gui.

Thanks,
--Miguel
