[CMake] Project with .NET Formular (Header with resx)

[David Cole]

A .NET Forms -based, managed C++ project is certainly not the typical output
of a CMake project.

CMake is largely focused on cross-platform C++ projects. Believe it or not,
you may be the first to attempt to do this and expect it to work...

If this is just a piece of a larger project, you could certainly use Visual
Studio to build an existing *.vcproj file, either via the
include_external_msproject command or via CMake's ExternalProject module.
