[CMake] Shouldn't CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE add <SuppressStartupBanner>false</...> to VS 2010 vcxproj files?

When I choose Visual Studio 9 (MSVC 2008) as generator, switching on 
CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE causes an extra line in the generated vcproj file, 
saying:

  SuppressStartupBanner="FALSE"

However, when I choose Visual Studio 10 (MSVC 2010), switching on 
CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE does not seem to have an effect. Right? I would have 
liked to have the following line added to section <ClCompile> of the 
generated vcxproj file:

  <SuppressStartupBanner>false</SuppressStartupBanner>

Doing so would trigger the compiler to print its commandline arguments onto 
the output stream or output window, while it is compiling. Which I find 
pretty helpful!

FYI, I'm using cmake-gui 2.8.5.

Kind regards,

  Niels
