Summary:                    CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY breaks
try_compile()'s COPY_FILE directive in 2.8.3
Description: 
I have a CMake project that was working fine with 2.8.1. When I upgraded CMake
to 2.8.3, I began to see this error at configuration time:

I am making use of CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY. If I comment out the
directive that assigns to it, everything works peachy:
