MSBuild won't run targets listed in DependsOnTargets if the target is skipped due to a false condition.
In this case, the condition to run the MakeReferenceProjection input is dependent on one of the DependsOnTargets targets, causing an issue in cases where that target didn't run earlier.
The fix is a technique recommended by the MSBuild team and already used elsewhere in the targets file:
We apply this by having a CppWinRTResolveReferences target and have the MakeReferenceProjections target have a dependency on this new target.
Tested
Fixes #395
