[CMake] Visual Studio Express projects don't inherit from parent

[Tron Thomas]

I don't think that is the problem.

I have not changed that script for a long time and it was working fine.

Only recently have I upgraded to CMake 2.8.2 and tried to configure the 
project for Visual C++ 2010 Express.

Before that I was using CMake 2.8.1 with Visual C++ 2008 Express and 
everything worked fine.  I could try testing CMake 2.8.2 with Visual C++ 
2008 Express to see if it still works.

I suspect it will and the problem lies with the generator for new 2010 
version of Visual C++ Express.
