[CMake] MSB4051

[Anders Backman]

Seems to be bug in CMake!

I reduce the solution down to 1 project. Still fails. So I copied the
generated .sln file into agx.cmake.sln

Then I marked the solution in VisualStudio and selected File->save agx.sln.

Now it works to build the whole solution.
So there is SOMETHING wrong with the .sln file that CMake generates, which
VisualStudio silently fixes when it saves the solution again.

I have attached the initial .sln file generated by CMake (2.8.3) and the
saved (from VisualStudio).

agx.sln - saved with VisualStudio File->Save agx.sln
agx.cmake.sln - As generated by CMake.
