In fact, it doesn't even work. Generated visual studio project ignores 
COMPILE_FLAGS set on source files,
even though it seems to be okay with COMPILE_DEFINITIONS. This is 
strange because visual studio itself
does support compile flags set per-file. So I am back to my original 
question. Anybody knows how to build
a shared library of separate cmake targets?

Thanks!
