I understand that CMake needs regenerate the project if CMakeLists.txt 
is changed. The point is, I will most probably not change it anymore, 
and if I did, I would prefer not to do this from within the IDE, but 
using an external editor and running CMake manually.

The reason for this is that from time to time I need to "Rebuild" my 
solution. This makes CMake run the custom build step for all 
CMakeLists.txt files although they did not change, which results in VS 
to prompt me for every project to reload it ... quite annyoing.

So, how can I make CMake not include CMakeLists.txt into to project, please?

Thanks.
