You could generate this file in cmake using cmake file commands. The
user files are xml.

Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<VisualStudioUserFile
	ProjectType="Visual C++"
	Version="9.00"
	ShowAllFiles="false"
	>
	<Configurations>
		<Configuration
			Name="Debug|Win32"
			>
			<DebugSettings
				Command="$(TargetPath)"
				WorkingDirectory=""
				CommandArguments=""
				Attach="false"
				DebuggerType="3"
				Remote="1"
				RemoteMachine="RADIMGWS61"
				RemoteCommand=""
				HttpUrl=""
				PDBPath=""
				SQLDebugging=""
				Environment=""
				EnvironmentMerge="true"
				DebuggerFlavor=""
				MPIRunCommand=""
				MPIRunArguments=""
				MPIRunWorkingDirectory=""
				ApplicationCommand=""
				ApplicationArguments=""
				ShimCommand=""
				MPIAcceptMode=""
				MPIAcceptFilter=""
			/>
		</Configuration>
		<Configuration
			Name="RelWithDebInfo|Win32"
			>
			<DebugSettings
				Command="$(TargetPath)"
				WorkingDirectory=""
				CommandArguments=""
				Attach="false"
				DebuggerType="3"
				Remote="1"
				RemoteMachine="RADIMGWS61"
				RemoteCommand=""
				HttpUrl=""
				PDBPath=""
				SQLDebugging=""
				Environment=""
				EnvironmentMerge="true"
				DebuggerFlavor=""
				MPIRunCommand=""
				MPIRunArguments=""
				MPIRunWorkingDirectory=""
				ApplicationCommand=""
				ApplicationArguments=""
				ShimCommand=""
				MPIAcceptMode=""
				MPIAcceptFilter=""
			/>
		</Configuration>
	</Configurations>
</VisualStudioUserFile>
