Summary:                    set_target_properties For Library Target Has No
Effect On Windows
Description: 
set_target_properties does not have any effect on Windows.

See example from the attached file. The example puts the created library into
libs directory on Linux.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Under MSYS
1. tar xf example.tar
2. mkdir build
3. cd build
4. cmake .. -G 'MSYS Makefiles'
5. make

Under CMD
1. # extract example.tar
2. mkdir buid
3. cd build
4. cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
5. nmake

The library is created in the current directory while the set_target_properties
sets the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH to libs


Additional Information: 
Tested with NMake Makefiles, MSYS Makefiles and Ninja generators.
