When generating VS IDE project files we put the include dir list in
their project format and the IDE generates the command line.  There
is no way to tell the IDE to use response files.  It might or might
not do so under the hood.  However, with ITK we have not hit any
limit of the IDE yet, but we did have to add the CMake 2.8.5 feature
to support MinGW tools.
