Does anyone have any input on this issue? If it's not yet possible to do
this, I think this would be a good feature. 

It might 

(a) facilitate the migration from an old vcproj-project base to cmake, and 
(b) help including external projects (that are not under developer's own
control) into cmake builds.

So, any workarounds welcome!
