Summary0010024: Support for vsprops or build-env settings per target.
DescriptionIt is very useful to have custom env settings for a target during build time. e.g. when calling legacy scripts as part of your build process which require that extra information.

In visual studio this is done through property sheets of (.vsprops) files.

It would be ideal if it were part of target properties.

A proposed patch, or a pointer to more documentation about .vsprops files and how they work would be welcome.

Hello,

I attached a proof-of-concept patch to add property sheets to VS 2012 vcxproj files.

Currently you can use it like:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
add_executable(foo foo.cpp)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES VS_PROPERTY_SHEETS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/foo.props")


What's missing:
* I'd like to make the property sheets relative to the current CMake file like source files but got lost in the source.
* VS_PROPERTY_SHEETS_<CONFIG> handling (there are some headaches involved because property sheets are sensitive to ordering)

Thanks,
Gregor
