[CMake] VS-C++ Express Version

[Philip Lowman]

This is Microsoft's fault.  You should complain to them.   The only
workaround for VS Express is to close your solution and run CMake manually
then open your solution back up again.

The problem doesn't affect VS Professional (and I believe Standard) because
they have support for macros which CMake takes advantage of to reload all of
the VS project files without a lot of user interaction.
