I'd agree, OSX applications almost never have the version number in
the filename.

In addition, other CMake things that aren't particularly native:
- Using bin/ directories inside Program Files on Windows is a bit weird
- I think that CMake shouldn't use version numbers in the Start
Menu/folder/executable name on Windows
