I've never used cmake but I can tell you the only way to build .vdproj projects is by calling devenv.com /rebuild with the correct parameters for your solution / platform / configuration settings. Visual Studio deployment projects aren't MSBuild based so there is no other way to do it. Perhaps CMake has a higher level abstraction for this but under the covers this is what it must do.
