[CMake] Project referring to CSharp project generates incorrectly?

[J. Caleb Wherry]

FWIW: I do almost this exact thing currently and have no issues (even mix
in Managed C++ wrappers around naive code). The only difference is that I
don’t compile any C# modules, only Shared libs. Not sure if that could be a
problem or not.

I’m using CMake 3.11 and VS 2015.
