    VS: De-duplicate custom command dependencies · 42bc67bd
    Frans van Dorsselaer authored and Brad King's avatar Brad King committed
    Avoid listing the same input more than once in custom commands generated
    in `.vcxproj` and `.csproj` files.  In the case of a `.vcxproj` file
    additionally avoid listing the source to which the command is attached
    since it is already implicitly a dependency.
    
    This is a nice cleanup and also works around a VS 2019 16.1 regression
    in MSBuild dependency checking.  Starting with that version, MSBuild now
    re-builds custom commands when the list of dependencies has changed.
    However, its check is confused by duplicate dependencies.
    De-duplicating them avoids this problem.
