[CMake] Problem with VS 7.0/7.1 generators

[William A. Hoffman]

That should work.  Is it possible you changed the defaults in VS7 to treat a .rc
file like c++ to get syntax highlighting or something?   If you create a project
without cmake and add an rc file does it have the same problem?

You can get it to build correctly by setting the .rc to compile with the resource compiler tool and excluding the .def from the build, but shouldn't cmake do this automatically? Am I doing something wrong?
