Summary:                    Visual Studio 7-9 generators case bools incorrectly
Description: 
In attempting to use a CMake generated .vcproj file with a local tool that
parses .vcproj files I discovered that CMake cases boolean values "TRUE" and
"FALSE".

.NET XML parsing chokes on anything but "true", "false", "0", "1".  (See
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/helloworld/archive/2009/04/03/workaround-to-deserialize-true-false-using-xmlserializer.aspx)

Visual Studio natively saves boolean values in .vcproj files with lowercase
("true"/"false").  I assume there would be no harm in modifying CMake to use
lowercase bools.

I will submit a patch to address this issue.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Generate any Visual Studio 7-9 project file.
