Summary0016003: "Visual Studio" generators produces wrong settings for .idl files (regression).
DescriptionCMakeLists.txt:

add_executable(app main.cpp file.idl)
set_source_files_properties(file.idl PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "/nologo /char signed /env win32 /tlb \"file.tlb\" /I \"../include\" /out \"${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/include\" /h \"file.h\" /dlldata \"dlldata.c\" /iid \"file_i.c\" ")


Files main.cpp, file.idl are empty.

Generating:

cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" path\to\CMakeLists.txt

CMake v3.4.x, v3.5.x will produce a .vcxproj:

  <ItemGroup>
    <Midl Include="path\to\file.idl" />
    <ClCompile Include="path\to\main.cpp" />
  </ItemGroup>

while CMake v3.2.1 will produce

  <ItemGroup>
    <Midl Include="path\to\file.idl">
      <AdditionalIncludeDirectories Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">..\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
      <DefaultCharType Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">Signed</DefaultCharType>
      <DllDataFileName Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">dlldata.c</DllDataFileName>
      <HeaderFileName Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">file.h</HeaderFileName>
      <InterfaceIdentifierFileName Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">file_i.c</InterfaceIdentifierFileName>
      <OutputDirectory Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">include</OutputDirectory>
      <SuppressStartupBanner Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">true</SuppressStartupBanner>
      <TargetEnvironment Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">Win32</TargetEnvironment>
      <TypeLibraryName Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">file.tlb</TypeLibraryName>
...
    </Midl>
    <ClCompile Include="path\to\main.cpp" />
  </ItemGroup>

Please 'git bisect' history to see when this was regressed.

Any fix to this should also include an update to Tests/VSMidl to cover it with a test.
