[CMake] Listing headers in source lists

[J Decker]

It's not nessesary for 2005, 2008, 2010, or 2012 versions.
visual studio builds a seperate browse information database.  2010 and
12, when in sources you can right click on the #include <filename>
filename and open directly.

Headers do get all mixed up in the same headers folder (including all
the system headers that got included) but they do not need to be
specified; and updating the timestamp on a header does cause proper
compiles without them being listed.
