[CMake] vcproj .user files

[Ryan Pavlik]

Make sure you have quit the visual studio instance in that build directory -
VS assumes that only it modifies the .vcproj.user files, so it does not
detect changes and will overwrite a modified file.  At least with 2.8.0,
this works fine when visual studio is closed.
