Ah... I see, but...

If I am not mistaken, the MS IDE *has* to select some configuration as
the default when a project is loaded.  I would imagine that it would
make the default configuration the first configuration it finds (seems
the logical thing to do, anyways, but with Microsoft you never know), so
cmake could re-spit the appropriate files changing the order of the
configurations.
If that's not the case, reverse engineering the file is probably not a
good solution as the format of that file can easily change. 
The best solution is to check whether the user is running cmake on
windows and whether the compiler IDE is installed.  Most users wanting
that feature will probably be running cmake in the same development
machine where the IDE is.
If that results on a positive, it should be possible to run the MSVC IDE
on batch and force it to load the project and then re-save it with the
correct setting, using either its COM interface or a simple script on
later IDE versions, I would think.
For X Code, I imagine something similar could be done but using either
an Obj-C / Apple script little program.
