The addition of files to Visual Studio project virtual folders is handled
in CMake with the SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES() directive, setting the FOLDER
property (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.8/prop_tgt/FOLDER.html).

As CMake doesn't explicitly reference header files, they aren't normally
added to a virtual folder.

You could add the headers to a file list with a GLOB (possibly recursive)
and add them to the files for a target (
