I just finished converting a large project from VC project files to Cmake
generated ones and am using file GLOBing to generate the file lists for
builds. This is working fine and I don't see the benefit to explicitly
specifying every file.
The benefit is that CMake re-runs when new files are added because you
have to edit the cmake file. There is no way right now to have CMake
auto re-run when a file is added to a directory. That is why the docs
recommend not using glob.
To implement this you would have to figure out a very efficient way to
check for new files in a directory every time the build is done. In
your case you would have to figure out how to integrate that into visual
studio. VS has no way to "watch" a directory so you would have to run
cmake --check-dirs every time a build is run from VS.
