Well there is a README.txt in the root directory that mentions very
clearly about CMake... and the Getting Started guide has CMake as its
second entry...

If we did write a WHERE_ARE_VS_PROJECT_FILES.txt then even this
wouldn't be read by everyone, and where do you stop with trying to
guess what questions users might ask but haven't come across the
answer elsewhere.

An occasional question on osg-users might suggest a lack of clear
notification, but it also can suggest that the list is just a
friendlier and easier place to ask questions than going hunting for an
answer in the source code or online docs.
