Not recommended.  Standard CMake usage is it hooks into your MSVC
project file, regenerating the project whenever you change
CMakeLists.txt.  "Standalone" MSVC project files are possible, but to
my knowledge not very well tested.  You're better off doing it the
normal way that everyone else does, unless you really really really
really can't have CMake as part of your MSVC toolchain.
