The VS solution files are an extra generator-specific piece that
do not really fit in CMake's general model of the build rules.
Everything related to them requires special interfaces like
EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULT_BUILD.

The existing "clean" special case corresponds to "make clean".
We can't add a special case for the "build" name because that
is not reserved as a special cmake-defined target name. We
could use a more obscure name though, such as "default_build"
or ".sln". The other VS generators would have to learn to honor
this name too.
One could also teach CMake to recognize "--target $proj.sln"
as a special case for building the entire solution.
If you want precise control over the msbuild invocation, why not
just invoke it directly?
