Summary0015313: .def files are not visible in Visual Studio project tree
DescriptionWhen using .def files to set public symbols in libraries it is important to edit .def file (sometimes frequently).
But now they are just consumed by CMake, added to project building (/DEF:...) and not visible in solution.

Is it possible to add .def files to project file tree in Visual Studio?
Steps To Reproducea.cpp:
void a(){}

a.def:
EXPORTS a

CMakeLists.txt
add_library(a SHARED a.cpp a.def)
Tagsdef, msvc

 cmGeneratorTarget::GetModuleDefinitionFile needs to be refactored to return a cmSourceFile* instead of just the path to the source, and its caller(s) updated. Then cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteAllSources can use it to call WriteSource("None", defsrc).
