a fortran one puts the fortran one in x64/debug/blah, but the cpp one
stays behind. I didn't try linking them. If I remove the overridden
OUTDIR=/debug/blah from the cmake generated project, then the cpp goes
into x64/debug/blah as expected.

So, why can't your fortran projects set OUTDIR just like the cpp ones do?

this->AddDefinition("CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR",
                       this->LocalGenerator->GetGlobalGenerator()
                       ->GetCMakeCFGInitDirectory());

It gets set here:
  virtual const char* GetCMakeCFGInitDirectory()
     { return "$(Configuration)";}


It is all a bit complicated... :)

It would be much better if we could get Debug, Release, etc to work like 
we are doing for cpp.  I am sure it will break lots of folks 
expectations if we change it when Fortran is on.  And, I don't think we 
want to change it all around...
