# include_external_msproject

Include an external Microsoft project file in a workspace.

    include_external_msproject(projectname location
                               [TYPE projectTypeGUID]
                               [GUID projectGUID]
                               [PLATFORM platformName]
                               dep1 dep2 ...)

Includes an external Microsoft project in the generated workspace file. Currently does nothing on UNIX. This will create a target named [projectname]. This can be used in the `add_dependencies()` command to make things depend on the external project.

`TYPE`, `GUID` and `PLATFORM` are optional parameters that allow one to specify the type of project, id (GUID) of the project and the name of the target platform. This is useful for projects requiring values other than the default (e.g. WIX projects). These options are not supported by the Visual Studio 6 generator.
