[CMake] Listing header files in Visual Studio

[E. Wing]

I tried a very simple ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET which just listed all the
files as dependencies, but this wasn't sufficient.

For the dummy file, Is there a way to detect in CMake if a Visual
Studio project is being generated. I would prefer to isolate this case
in a VS only block.

Thanks,
Eric
