I have seen those warnings as well, but it works and it solves the problem 
of having portable vcprof-file which was generated. (that what I thought 
was one of the questions in that thread)

To generate an independent vcproj-file from a CMakeFile. Here, we don't 
want/can't send the CMakeLists.txt to the other users and force them to 
use Cmake. They are expecting a vcproj-file. Using it this way simplifies 
my life of having only one build system for Linux/Windows...
