Summary

0008555: Ability to generate targets outside of Visual Studio's "Release" or "Debug" folders

Description

A common request on the mailing list appears to be to support generating library and binary targets with Visual Studio outside of the "Debug" and "Release" folders typically up a directory.

Using the PREFIX hack this is possible, but ugly. Using it comes with a *WARNING* to be *SURE* you have unique filenames for all of your targets as Visual Studio will simply overwrite them if you do not with whatever configuration type was built last.

if(MSVC)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES PREFIX "../")
endif()

Better support for changing the output directory of multi-solution generators would be useful.
