CMake calls itself from the VS project file for regenerating it in case
some of the CMake scripts changed. Maybe there are other places where
CMake is invoked, but why is that a problem and how turns that the VS
files non-native?

OTOH, please note that we are not discussing to add yet another build
system, but to remove one!
