Hi all,

I'm getting repeated questions from other developers at my company about why the project files CMake generates for Visual Studio aren't movable, so I sat down, created a minimal project, switched on the CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS flag, and ran cmake. It turns out that there are actually only two places where there still are absolute paths:

1. The description field for custom rule steps.
2. The ProgramDataBaseFileName attribute in the VCCLCompilerTool element.

The first issue I can live with, but the second issue shouldn't be too difficult to fix, right? As far as I can see from just studying the source code, its a small matter of changing one method in the cmTarget.cxx file.

Are there any other issues which prevent Visual Studio project files from being moved?
