[CMake] C# and cmake ?

[Yuri Timenkov]

It's better to use include_external_msproject with C# projects. After
fixing bug http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13120 it's possible to
use:

include_external_msproject(Configurator
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/MyCSProject.csproj
    TYPE FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC
    PLATFORM "Any CPU"
    )

Additionally you can use configure_file to create file in $(SolutionDir) to
pass information (like paths, configuration options, etc.) to msbuild and
VS IDE.

The only drawback is that CMake sees these project as utility projects, so
you can't use them in generator expressions. However you can link to them
by adding dependencies.
