[CMake] CMake + mdvc + --build + jenkins

[J. Caleb Wherry]

(forgot to reply all)

I have a pretty similar setup but do not use the cmake --build since I
selectively build projects based the jenkins build type (CI, nightly,
research ,etc).

I'll see if I can kick off a test and use the --build option, I've thought
about doing that in the past but never tested. Will let you know if I see a
similar issue as you are seeing.

FWIW, I also set /nr:false so our setups are pretty close. I also build
Java and .NET wrappers in the same solution and sometimes have issues with
the .NET processes not ending when a build is done. I haven't investigated
those thoroughly though. So it is very possible something is screwed up
somewhere on either side.
