[CMake] Visual Studio plugin help

[James Bigler]

Well, OK. I've narrowed it down a bit more.

I don't think this is related to the plugin.

In one of my projects, if I simply compile an already compiled project
then exit, I get a crash.  I ported some of the CMake code from that
project into a new one and now they are both crashing.  I didn't
notice that this was correlated, since I've only been working on these
two projects for the past little while.

I'm not sure what I could be doing with my CMake script to cause VS to
crash when exiting.

I tried VS 2008, and it doesn't crash doing the same things I was doing in 2005.

I've also verified that it crashes in XP32 with VS 2005 Team building
a 32 bit build.

I'm going to try and install 2005 Pro and see if it still crashes, but
I don't think that will solve anything.
