+Specify the default startup project in a Visual Studio solution.
+
+The property must be set to the name of an existing target. This
+will cause that project to be listed first in the generated solution
+file causing Visual Studio to make it the startup project if the
+solution has never been opened before.
+
+If this property is not specified, then the "ALL_BUILD" project
+will be the default.
