[zeromq-dev] libzmq\builds\msvc\msvc.sln is missing

Cmake does not build!. And it certainly is a different paradigm but I have
grown to love it.

Like bakefiles it generates the projects from a single set of descriptive
CMakeList.txt files

The philosophy is:
   Out of source build.
     You change into a fresh directory and generate into it. This is NEVER
CHECKED IN and build products do not pollute your repo directory
     I go one step furthor and keep my cmake projects in a tree along side,
at a peer level the actual repo so even my CMakeList files don't pollute my
repo. And I can have multiple projects using the same source tree.
   Once these projects are generated, regeneration takes a very short time,
I consider this negligible when compared with changeing every dependency in
a large project or creating a new similar project. Ever manually edit a VS
sln file?  You only need to regen  when files are added,remove, or moved.
or you decide to change some compile and linker options.
    In reality you can check in the makefiles and solutions but they have
all absolute paths! So unless you have a team wide convention, it goes
against the grain.

I like it becuase  I have a build root env variable on all my machines. I
check out my cmake project on any machine and run the python prep script I
created that generates into ${BUILD_ROOT}/{$Projectname}. I do this on
Apple, linux, windows 32/64 bit VS2010,VS2012, VS2013, Eclipse. And I will
be trying Ninja for the build server. If I want to change the version of
boost I change 1 line in the cmake, regenerate and open the sln, all
projects in the sln are updated. commit, pull down to apple, regen and open
xcode. done.

I like it because I generate
